DESCRIPTION

A sample standards-based report card for a quarterly marking period in a high school physics class. This was generated using a novel grade calculation algorithm and several assessments of varying types. The resultant data was organized in a spreadsheet and merged into a document that highlights the breakdown of what the student's overall grade actually means in terms of what they have demonstrated they have learned/know.

Student: Doe, Jane Student ID: 1234567890 Hour: 1st Grades: The chart below highlights the standards-based grading system used and how it translates to the 14-Point scale

Numerical Rating Rating Description Letter Grade 13 Student meets standard with excellence A 10 Student meets standard with proficiency B 7 Student is approaching proficiency with standard C 4 Student is well below proficiency with standard D 1 Student does not meet standard E 0 Insufficient evidence to rate student's performance on standard Z

Standard Rating Circular Motion Standards Description:

CM.1 10 I can represent the path in which an object in circular motion is traveling using a diagram, even if the object only travels around a portion of the path

CM.2 7 I know that in order for an object to move circular motion, there has to be an unbalanced force (Funb) toward the center of the circular path, called the centripetal force

CM.3 7 I know that objects in circular motion are accelerating (centripetal acceleration,) and the objects: can have a constant speed, are changing direction, and have a changing velocity due to the change in direction

CM.4 7 I know that object can accelerate in any of three ways: speeding up, slowing down, changing direction CM.5 10 I know that the velocity of an object in circular motion is tangent to the circular path

CM.6 10 I can represent the motion of an object in circular motion by drawing motion map arrows of its velocity (tangent to circular path) and acceleration (toward center)

CM.7 7 I can predict the path of an object that “escapes” circular motion due to a lack of centripetal force and represent it using a diagram of some kind

CM.8 4 I have a conceptual sense of the centripetal force quantity, Fc, and its relationship to mass, velocity, and radius

CM.9 10 I can recognize and come up with real life examples of circular motion, centripetal force and centripetal acceleration, including analysis of freeway exit ramps

CM.10 7 I can calculate the amount of centripetal acceleration or force associated with certain conditions of an object traveling in circular motion

Standard Rating Universal Gravitation Standards Description:

G.1 7 I can explain the orbit of the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun in terms of the centripetal motion model, and know that the gravitational force is responsible for the centripetal force. I can explain the motion of any orbiting object around another in terms of centripetal motion.

G.2 13 I can identify and represent all of the forces acting on an orbiting body G.3 10 I can draw a motion map for a body in orbit

G.4 10 I know and can explain how an orbiting body is really just free-falling toward the object it orbits, but it never gets there because it is in centripetal motion.

G.5 7 I understand that the path of orbit is not circular but elliptical.

G.6 7 I can state Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and explain the relationship between mass, distance and force of objects and predict the effect of changing one of these variables on the other

G.7 7 I can explain how the gravitational force functions between two bodies and relate it to Newton's Third Law G.8 4 I can calculate the amount of gravitational force attracting two objects together G.9 7 I can describe the velocity and gravitational force of an orbiting body

G.10 7 I know that all objects that have mass exert an attractive force on all other objects with mass according to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

Standard Rating Momentum Unit Standards Description:

M.1 7 I know that momentum is a measurement of "mass in motion" and is the product of an object's mass times its velocity; I can calculate, using a formula (p=mv), the amount of momentum an object has given specific conditions

M.2 7 I can compare the momentum of an object to that of another; I know the effect of increasing/decreasing either the velocity or mass of an object on its momentum

M.3 7 I know that an impulse is a measurement of "force exerted for some time" and is responsible for a change in momentum; I can use a formula (I = Ft = change in momentum)

M.4 7 I know the effect of changing the contact time between two objects during a collision can effect the force and thus the impulse; I know that increasing the time of a collision is the way to reduce the impact of the force

M.5 7 I know that momentum is conserved in an elastic collision and can predict the final or starting velocities based on given conditions of mass and velocity

M.6 4 I can explain collisions in situations such as Newton's Cradle toy, recoil of a shot, throwing an egg at a wall vs. a sheet, pool ball collision, or catching a ball.
