Sunlit classroom makerspace where student teams rotate through hands-on stations: a close-up of a teacher stamping a three-box checklist with small handwritten initials, a student photographing a finished artifact while classmates give a brief oral report, and a projector showing blurred image thumbnails. A table holds a compiled group portfolio with photo sleeves, flipchart pages and colored sticky tabs, as the teacher times progress with a stopwatch and a roll of sticker stamps, all captured with realistic textures, expressions and shallow depth of field to highlight formative and summative assessment moments.
  • Formative checkpoints at each station (teacher stamp or quick rubric, 1–3 items): Did team follow procedure? Is evidence recorded? Was a claim supported by data?
  • Use rapid evidence-gathering methods:
    • A 3-item checklist that students tick and initial.
    • A 60-second oral report to you or to the observing student group.
    • Photo of artifact uploaded to LMS or displayed on class screen.
  • Rubric example (quick, out of 6):
    • Planning: clear design/plan (0–2)
    • Execution: followed procedure; artifact completed (0–2)
    • Reflection: recorded result + next step (0–2)
  • Summative product: compiled group portfolio (photos, short report, flipchart notes) assessed with a full rubric (knowledge, application, teamwork, communication).

Formative scripts for feedback while roaming:

  • “Show me how you tested that — what data did you collect?”
  • “What assumption are you making here? How could you check it?”
  • “I notice you skipped Step 2 — what happened when you tried it?”
