2. Writing an essay about the effects of the pandemic on the socio-economic status of the country.
- Research skills: Gathering relevant information about the pandemic and its socio-economic effects.
- Analysis: Understanding and interpreting how the pandemic has impacted the socio-economic status.
- Organizational skills: Structuring the essay coherently with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Identify the main groups and periods of the periodic table.
2. Classify elements based on their position in the periodic table (metals, non-metals, and metalloids).
3. Explain how the atomic number, atomic mass, and electron configuration influence an element's
position in the periodic table.
4. Predict the chemical properties of elements based on their position in the periodic table.
Performance-Based Assessment
Directions: You will work in pairs to create a visual representation (poster or infographic) of a specific
group (family) in the periodic table. Your task is to research the elements within your assigned group and
provide the following information for each element:
- Atomic number
- Atomic mass
- Number of protons, neutrons, and electrons
- Electron configuration
- Chemical properties (reactivity, common compounds)
- Metal, non-metal, or metalloid classification
Instructions for the Activity:
1. Research and Information Gathering: Each pair will be assigned a group or period from the
periodic table. Use available resources (textbooks, internet) to gather information about the
elements in your group.
3. Presentation: Each pair will present their visual representation to the class. Be ready to explain
how the atomic number and electron configuration relate to the chemical properties of the
elements in your group.

Example 2: Holistic Rubric for Science Experiment (Physics: Investigating Force and Motion)
Level Description
Student demonstrates a thorough understanding of force and motion concepts. The
4 (Excellent) experiment is well-organized and accurate. All data collected is relevant, and
conclusions are fully supported by data. All safety measures are followed carefully.
Student demonstrates a good understanding of force and motion concepts. The
3 (Good) experiment is mostly well-organized, but with minor errors. Data is mostly relevant, and
the conclusion is partially supported by the data. Some safety measures may be missed.
Student demonstrates a basic understanding of force and motion, but with notable
2 (Satisfactory) errors. The experiment is somewhat organized, but data collected has some
inaccuracies, and the conclusion is weakly supported. Some safety measures are not
followed.
Student shows limited understanding of force and motion. The experiment is poorly

Direction: Design a project or task for each of the following learning objectives
Task:
Learning Objective:
The student will be able to explain and demonstrate the different stages of the water
cycle (evaporation, conde
Product-Oriented Task:
- Project: Create a 3D model of the water cycle using clay, paper, or other craft
materials.
- Performance Task: Students will present their 3D model to the class and explain
each stage of the water cycle.
