End of Course Physics Portfolio |
A portfolio is a collection of work that reflects a person’s experiences or accomplishments. Portfolios often include written reflections on the included work. They are usually presented in binders or folders in a way that is well organized and visually appealing. You will be creating a digital portfolio in Google Slides.
You must share your presentation with me at [email protected]. Give me commenting privileges only - NOT editing or viewing.
You will create a portfolio of your physics learning experiences. For each of the categories listed below you will do two things:
1. Choose an item to represent the category.
2. Write a reflection for the category.
Your Google Slide Presentation should be titled: Your Name Physics Porfolio (ex. Julian Wright Physics Portfolio)
Your presentation should have a total of TEN slides. (Titles of each slide are below.)
The portfolio is worth 200 points.
*Portfolio Categories
For each of the following categories, your portfolio should have a physical representation (item) and a written reflection:
*Extended Reflections
For these categories you do not include a physical representation. These are written reflections on how you have changed over time as a result of your learning in this course. These reflections should be lengthier, (about 3-5 paragraphs) more substantial that the above.
9. How has your thinking on everyday things changed as a result of your learning physics? How does physics affect you everyday?
10. Because of your learning in this course, what topic do you think differently about?
PORTFOLIO DUE DATE: SENIORS; May 12th! Anything updated or submitted after this time will not be graded. JUNIORS: May 31st! (at beginning of class) Anything updated or submitted after this time will not be graded.

You will create a portfolio of your physics learning experiences. For each of the categories listed below you will do two things:
1. Choose an item to represent the category.
- This item might be a lab report, project, quiz, homework assignment, or anything else that was returned to you by the teacher. Alternatively, you could include an assignment sheet, a photo of a project, or a piece of a project if it is too large to include. Using Edmodo is an excellent way to look back at your work from this school year. This is a representation. You will include a photo of it in your presentation.
2. Write a reflection for the category.
- The reflection should explain how/why your item selection represents the category. The reflections should be clearly titled and arranged in close proximity to the item that they discuss. Reflections should be about two paragraphs.
Your Google Slide Presentation should be titled: Your Name Physics Porfolio (ex. Julian Wright Physics Portfolio)
Your presentation should have a total of TEN slides. (Titles of each slide are below.)
The portfolio is worth 200 points.
*Portfolio Categories
For each of the following categories, your portfolio should have a physical representation (item) and a written reflection:
- A topic you most enjoyed learning about.
- A lab investigation that did not work well. Include thoughts on how it could have been improved.
- A sudden insight. A time during the year when “a light bulb went on” and you suddenly understood something that you previously did not.
- One things that you studied from FIRST semester, but still do not understand.
- One thing that you studied from SECOND semester, but still do not understand
- Choose two labs/activities/lessons/topics/ from different parts of the semester (not the same unit). How were the physics topics in these two things connected/related?
- A lab/activity/topic/discussion that reveals the relevance of physics to your life.
- Best example of you using experimental evidence to arrive at a new understanding of something.
*Extended Reflections
For these categories you do not include a physical representation. These are written reflections on how you have changed over time as a result of your learning in this course. These reflections should be lengthier, (about 3-5 paragraphs) more substantial that the above.
