question 4

Multiple Choice

W A science teacher engages the students in an inquiry activity involving momentum by having them put 1-kg, 2-kg, and 3-kg weights on a small wooden 4-wheeled cart.

They graph the results on two graphs. How can the teacher assess the students' understandings of momentum authentically?

• A) Give each student a multiple-choice test.
• B) Ask each student to write an illustrated experiment report in their science journals.
• C) Have each student write a paragraph interpreting the graphs they constructed.
• D) Engage each student in conversations about what they are doing, what they are finding out, and what they can conclude from the evidence.
• E) All of the above
• F) None of the above
