Strand 1: Experience excitement, interest and motivation to learn about phenomena in the natural and physical world.

The teacher and students in this drawing were depicted exploring science outdoors. The teacher was drawn with a smile on her face and students were illustrated making such comments as, "cool!," "look!," and "we're outside!" This drawing was assigned a score of four due to the presence of both smiling faces and indicators of excitement, interest and motivation in students' comment bubbles.
