 Knowledge on magnets and effects of magnetism on some objects.Linkage to StandardsList the Standards of Learning or Aligned Standards of Learning being evidenced by this collection of evidence.S-FME 1 The student will investigate and understand that magnets have an effect on some materials, make some things move without touching them, and have useful applications. Key concepts includea) Attraction/nonattraction, push/pull, attract/repel, and metal/nonmetal;b) Useful applications (refrigerator magnet, can opener, magnetized screwdriver, and magnetic games).

2 Video tapesSecondary  Michael was taped four times attempting to set up an experiment. In all the incidences, he had difficulties setting up the experiments. The video tapes showed Michael withdrawing from the rest of the class due to frustration Video recorder Teacher, students, laboratory staff. 3 Class work Primary Michael’s performance in class is below grade. He has difficulties understanding the concept of magnetism. Michael becomes upset when he does not understand and he isolates himself.

Test books, chalkboard, note books, hard outs, pen Teacher and students4 Performance curve  Michael’s performance curve has exhibited stagnation and sometimes declining slightly. This shows that Michael’s performance has not improved for quite sometime. NoneGraphs and charts Teacher5      6      (Arter & Spandel, 1992)Social Studies, History, VocationalStudent PerformanceList the IEP goal(s) being evidenced by this collection of evidence. 1.
