PEP Practice for Grades 4, 5 and 6 Students - Science Performance Task Grade 5

by Dr. Shalette Ashman

This book is designed to prepare students at the grade 5 level in the skill sets
required for the PEP Performance Tasks.
Performance Tasks require students to apply their learning or knowledge in context.
Performance Tasks are intended to serve as evidence of learning as well as to
provide measurable indicators for the attainment of performance objectives.
Performance Tasks involve multiple steps towards finding solutions. This thinking
process is at the core of learning the skills for applying knowledge. Teachers are
encouraged to demonstrate appropriate standards for such applications. Critical
standards in applying knowledge should involve students learning what is required
to move from what is known to what remains to be solved, moving from concept to
activity and from strategy to engagement, in unfamiliar or new contexts.
Performance Tasks help students to discover that meaningful learning is integrated,
interdisciplinary and active as well as more interesting and useful than abstract or
isolated ideas within subject areas.
The tasks set out in this workbook are open-ended and are therefore flexibly
designed to incorporate a variety of responses, all or any of which can derive
successful outcomes. Each task is problem-based and presents a realistic challenge
for students to navigate. In attempting problems, students may consider their main
purpose, audience, limitations, clues, methods, process and range of solutions.
