summative assessment.
Stage 3 Learning Plan
Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction
1. Build an Atom PhET simulation and questions. (W, H)
2. Build an Atom Formative quiz after completion of activity. Students get immediate feedback via Google Form Quiz. (E2)
3. Students complete a group activity on isotopes. (E1, O)
4. Students take a formative quiz over isotopes topics. If students earn 80% or higher they move on to next topics. If students earn less
than 0%, they spend time remediating in class to take the quiz again. (E2, R)
5. After getting 80% on formative isotopes quiz, students start an activity on average atomic mass. Students can choose from one of two
activities depending on level of challenge desired. (E1, T, O)
6. Students take a formative quiz upon completing the assignment of their choice using Google Classroom. They received immediate
feedback on their learning. (R, E2)
7. Students complete a hands-on activity to apply average atomic mass concepts. (H, E1)
8. Upon completion of hands-on activity, students will take a formative quiz on average atomic mass. Students who earn 80% or higher
move on to next topic. Students who earn less than 80% will spend time remediating in class to take the quiz again. (E2, R)
9. All students will read independently about Bohrs model of the atom and take a quick formative assessment to check for
understanding of ideas. If necessary, the class will split up for students to discuss more in depth in areas of weakness. (E1, E2, R)
10. Students will choose their method of learning about electron configurations: individual reading, group activity, watching videos
individually or with partner(s). Mini-lectures will be given when needed. Formative feedback will be given throughout via Google Form
Quizzes and Exit Tickets. (E1, R, E2)
11. A formative quiz will be given on electron configurations to determine if students are ready for the performance assessment. If
students earn 80% or higher they can move on the performance assessment project. If students earn less than 80%, remediation will
occur during class until students can retake the quiz for 80% or higher. (R, E2)
12. Performance Assessment Project on Isotopes, Average Atomic Mass, and Electron Configurations. Students will have a variety of
choices in how they will present their project. Rubric will be used to assess understanding. Students will be given the opportunity to
revise project after feedback is given. (R, E2, T, O)
13. Students will work in groups to come up with test questions, and solutions/answers, that assess the learning goals of this unit. A
summative test will be created from these questions. (W, R, E2, T)
14. Summative test on Unit 2: Atomic Structure will be given to assess concepts covered in the unit. Test will be a combination of multiple
choice and short answer questions created by students. Students will be given an opportunity to retake the assessment if they are not
satisfied with their demonstration of knowledge. Students will revisit concepts that they were not proficient in before retaking the
test. (E1, R, E2)
*Formative Assessments will be given throughout in the form of exit tickets, polling during class, and whiteboard use during class. Students
will receive feedback as often as possible.
