| Abstract | This article presents the experiences of Miss Felecia McLaughlin, a fourth-grade teacher from the island of Jamaica who used the model proposed by Bass et al. (2009) to assess conceptual understanding of four of the six types of simple machines while encouraging collaboration through the creation of learning teams. Students had an opportunity to demonstrate what they learned and understood about simple machines through the construction of scientific models and the oral presentation of the mental processes involved in the generation of their products. The topic "Simple Machines" is typically taught in grade 4 as part of a unit entitled "Simple and Complex Machines." The unit explores how ideas such as force, push, pull, and work are related to simple machines and may also be adapted to suit the needs of fifth and sixth graders. This performance assessment activity was conducted in a single lesson after the basic concepts of simple machines were developed in two prior classes, and the main objective was to have students design and construct simple machines that complete particular tasks. The successful completion of these tasks demonstrates students' comprehension of the concepts taught and their ability to integrate them into their everyday experiences. (ERIC). |
