GROWING AND CHANGING
Group members:
CRITERIA
Project task:
Create a Bee-Bot mat, showing the stages of a living thing as it grows and changes.
Science knowledge
Understands that living things grown and change, and go through predictable stages
in their life.
Understands that living things have offspring; some are similar to their parents and
others are not.
Science skills
Conducts some research or investigation to understand the predictable stages that a
living thing goes through as it grows.
Organises information effectively using a table.
Communicates science knowledge successfully by drawing and labelling stages
appropriate for a Bee-Bot mat.
Technology/Engineering skills
Sketches a design of a Bee-Bot mat.
Builds an appropriate mat based on the design.
Evaluates and revises the mat or images of the living thing to achieve a better result.
Plans a program for a Bee-Bot to correctly follow the pathway of the growth of a living
thing.
Successfully programs a Bee-Bot (or instructs a student to move along the mat).
Mathematics
Accurately measures materials required for construction of a Bee-Bot mat, using two
ruler lengths as an informal measure.
Is able to fold a large square into sixteenths and recognise common fractions used in
the process: 1 2 , 1 4 , 1 8 , 1
16 .
Understands the creation of a grid using a 4 x 4 array.
Accurately gives/receives directions to arrive at a specific place on a grid mat.
Group skills
Each group member contributed equally to the project and had a clear role.
Each group member collaborated and worked well together to solve problems.
Each group member communicated positively and listened to others.
1 = Below expectations
2 = Meeting expectations
