The Sky and Landscape Rubric
This assessment rubric supports the Year 1 science unit "The Sky and Landscape," aligned with the Earth and Space Sciences strand. It provides clear, structured criteria to evaluate student understanding of observable changes in the sky and landscape, including day/night patterns, seasons, weather, and natural, managed and constructed features. The rubric helps assess science understanding, inquiry skills, and the ability to communicate observations using drawings, data and discussion.
