Teacher Notes
Act. 1.12 Create an Online Science Portfolio

 
A Portfolio of your ESS Work

You will create an online portfolio of your science work for SOAR-High.   Other students will be able to view your projects and you can learn from each other's work.  Sometimes your teacher may ask you to send email to another student about their work. 

There are two kinds (categories) of science work for this class:

Science Projects - class assignments that involve information gathering, analysis, or creative writing.

Lab Reports and Research - activities in which you test a hypotheses and report the results.

What to Include

Your On-line Science Portfolio should include the following:

  • A professional appearance
  • Your school name, and the name of this class
  • Your first name (only - no last name please)
  • A picture of yourself
  • Two work category titles: "Science Projects" and "Lab Reports and Research".  (Later you will add links to your projects)
  • Dates for each piece of work
  • A short introduction for yourself (60 words or less).  You may include links to your favorite web pages (appropriate for a professional page)
  • Use an interesting background color or image
  • Include a place to add Reflections (at the end of semesters)
 Here is an example of an interesting and nicely designed page. 
(This is a 'made-up' example - the information is not accurate)
