REFLECTION: Fill out where you think you are on the scale 4 in addition to score 3.0 you are able to go above and beyond by applying what you know about the metric system. you can teach another student about the metric system. 3 you understand how to measure volume, mass, distance and temperature using the metric system. 2 with no help you have a partial understanding of how to measure using the metric system. 1 with help you may have a partial understanding of how to measure using the metric system. Reflection # 4: Conversions How do you feel about converting? Is anything still confusing Can you convert without help? What will you do to get yourself to a level 3 or 4?

Flip Book Grading Scale 4 In addition to a score of 3, my flip book is extremely well- written, organized and through. 3 I have included the following information for distance, volume, mass and temperature :  Definition of: distance, volume, mass and temperature  Tools used to measure (distance, volume, mass and temperature)  Units used to measure (distance, volume, mass and temperature)  One example of each (distance, volume, mass and temperature)  Drawing that illustrates something related to distance, volume, mass and temperature 2 Some of the above information is missing/incomplete/incorrect. 1 The majority of the above information is missing/incomplete/incorrect.

Color Coded Power Paragraph Student can clearly explain why the United States should stick with using customary units or switch to metric. 4 In addition to a score of 3, my paragraph goes above and beyond by giving very detailed examples and it applies what I know about metric to real-world scenarios. 3  My topic sentence clearly states I think why the United States should stick with using customary units or switch to metric.  My paragraph includes at least 3 reasons, details or facts that support my topic sentence.  I have included at least 3 examples or explanations to support my reasons, details or facts.  I have formally concluded and stated my opinion again in the conclusion sentence.  I have included proper transitions  have highlighted my Paragraph appropriately  My paragraph fully answers the prompt, flows well, and follows all convention rules 2 Some of the paragraph is highlighted appropriately.
