JoinProblem Solvers to the Rescue
During a two-week summer camp, third and fourth graders participated in a series of hands-on lessons related to the concepts of mass and volume. Through these measures, organizers were able to assess students in several areas: scientific vocabulary, written and oral language skills, cooperative skills, creativity, conceptual understanding of mass and volume, reading numeric scales, measurement skills, mathematics skills such as addition and subtraction, and science-process skills.
