Students recently completed a performance task, which is a timed and cooperative lab assignment. This specific task could easily appear on the spring science NECAP because the task is rich with measurement, observation and requires a conceptual understanding of not only what the students can measure, but what the students cannot measure.
In this task, students are using the physical properties of granola to identify, separate and weigh the component materials. The students then make tables and graphs and analyze their findings relative to the wrapper to determine which materials they were unable to recover.
