Planning with the end in mind
The middle of the year is a great time to provide students with ways of showcasing their science mastery. Within Amplify Science, typically the last lesson of each unit is an End-of-Unit Assessment. Before beginning a unit, review how students will be assessed by previewing the End-of-Unit Assessment. Simply log in to learning.amplify.com, select your unit, and select the End-of-Unit Assessment tile(s).

“ Tiffany has taken off with Amplify Science in first grade. She requested donations of lab coats for her students to feel like real scientists as they learn science in her class. She makes great use of the Amplify resources and her students are so engaged in learning! We are thankful for her willingness to embrace the program and take her kids along for the ride! ”
