ELA: Alignment to the Rigor of the CCSS: Superior (3)
My students loved this lesson. It was interesting to see new vocabulary, methods of recording evidence, and written conclusion of the effect of 1 variant on an entire system.

ELA: Key Shifts in the CCSS: Superior (3)
There are a wealth of activities to support this lab allowing the teacher to work across the math and science curriculum.

ELA: Instructional Supports: Strong (2)
While a few students were skeptical regarding the concept of paper airplanes, as the lesson progressed, students were actively engaged.

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Strong (2)
Does not include suggestions for multi-level learners but I found it very easy to make appropriate assignments when we did the experiment in small groups.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Superior (3)
The wide variety of supplementary activities allows the teacher to select what is most appropriate for the class.

Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Superior (3)
While some students thought paper airplanes were a bit lame, they soon got into the project as they began to see the changes that occurred through the manipulation of just 1 variable. Soon they were making their own predictions and working as a team to collect data and analyze it.

Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Superior (3)
There are a wealth of activities that support not only vocabulary for this concept but measuring data with one variant. Very well done.

Quality of Assessments: Strong (2)
Many of the assessments are verbal or written in nature. However, I accepted charts and graphs of the experiment as proof of mastery if the group could explain the changes in the variant represented on the chart.
