Name: Karyn Bartolomucci

Grade Level: Kindergarten

Subjects: Science

Topic: Time Patterns- Night and Day

Performance Task - GRASPS

Goal

You are to design and create a model of the sky. You can choose to create a day sky or a night sky. If you choose to create a day sky, you will illustrate what things are seen in the sky during the day. If you choose to create a night sky, you will illustrate what things are seen in the sky at night.

Role

You are a designer and an artist. You will create a model of either the day or night sky showing what you know about the things you see in it.

Audience

Not only will you share your model with your classmates and teacher, your model will be displayed at Fernbank Science Center, during their Sky Exhibit.

Situation

Ms. Skymodel, the owner of Fernbank Science Center needs your help! Someone stole the models from the Sky Exhibit, which starts next week! She needs your help to create a collection of day and night sky models. Since she came to talk to us earlier in the week about the sky and the things we see in it, she knows that our class will be perfect to design the new models!

Product/Performance

You will choose whether you would like to create a night or day sky model. You will then work on your model individually, using the materials provided. You will focus on the things seen in the sky and how the sky looks. When you are finished, you will share your model with the rest of the class. Your sky model will then be displayed at Fernbank Science Center. As a field trip, we will attend the Sky Exhibit. Family and Friends will be invited so you can share with them your models that are on display!
