Differentiated Portfolio Assessment

I started working on another piece of my portfolio last weekend - a differentiated, muliple-intelligence, portfolio assessment. I wanted to create something that I could actually use in the next few weeks so I could reflect on the experience before the end of my class. I chose to create a portfolio assessment for the current science chapter. The topic of the chapter is "Earth Science" - volcanoes, erosion, types of rocks, soil, etc.

I took a look at the state standards for science and created activties that both proved that the student had mastered the concepts but at the same time could be presented in a variety of ways.
