PhET Circuit Construction Kit:DC (HTLML5)

PhET Balanced and Unbalanced Forces, Net Forces, and Newtons

Small groups of students will perform Electricity and Circuits simulations using PhET programming. These simulations will show the properties of circuits, requirements to complete a circuit, building a Series and Parallel Circuit, observing the differences between the different circuits and learn more about conductors and insulators. The students are required to complete each step in the simulation and properly use the Science terms in their written answers to demonstrate mastery.

Forces and Motion
	Poor (Unacceptable) (N/A)	Needs improvement (N/A)	Good (N/A)	Excellent (N/A)
Predicted Movement	Poor (Unacceptable) The students did not attempt to predict movement on forces and motion of an object of the Task	Needs improvement The students' written prediction of movement was incomplete or not clearly stated in the motion of an object.	Good The students' prediction of movement was adequate.	Excellent The students' prediction clearly showed ability to figure out cause and effect relationship of forces applied.
Actual Movement	Poor (Unacceptable) The students did not attempt to perform a 'Task' simulation of forces on the motion of an object.	Needs improvement The students' 'Task' demonstration did not correctly write the effects of Task' simulation of forces on the motion of an object.	Good The students' demonstration adequately showed or wrote the effects of forces on the motion of an object in the'Task' simulation.	Excellent The students' demonstration clearly showed the effects of forces on the motion of an object in the 'Task' simulations.
Sum of Forces (Net)	Poor (Unacceptable) Students did not correctly calculate the net force in any of their simulations.	Needs improvement Students correctly calculated the net force in only one of the two simulations.	Good Not applicable.	Excellent Students correctly calculated the net force in all 'Task' simulations.
Use of Science terms	Poor (Unacceptable) Students did not properly use Science terms in any of their PhET 'Task' simulations.	Needs improvement Students properly used the Science terms in only one of the two 'Task' simulations.	Good Students properly used Science terms in most of their 'Task' simulations.	Excellent Students properly used Science terms in all of their 'Task' simulations, Analysis, Questions and Reasoning.
