The Value of This GridThis grid is a graphically-based visual framework for assessment that does not suggest or require comparative metrics, and one that supports learning depth as opposed to a “checklist” of learning outcomes that may or may not encourage depth.
Employers can use this data in their hiring process to confirm candidates with appropriate foundational studies.
Capstone ProjectThe Capstone project culminates in a deeper learning project which can be an inquiry-based question, an ACE-IT story, an apprenticeship story, a fine arts production etc. The Keystone is created specifically to show who you are, where your interests lie, and who you have become. It should be something that students take proudly to their post-secondary educational experience, or to their employer.

Keystone Project Science Fair – A Thermal-Spectroscopic Study of Lysozyme Unfolding (Time code: 5:09)
Jane’s CommentsFor my keystone project, I worked with a fellow student to investigate the thermal effects lysozyme generates when it interacts with bacterial cell walls. We showed test results of what happens when you lower the temperature of bacteria as lysozyme interacts with it. We came in second place.
Teacher’s CommentsJane has an excellent grasp of scientific
exploration, determination, hypothesis and
evaluation in order to come to a reasonable
conclusion. She is remarkably resourceful and
determined in her hunt for an answer. She has
a strong interest in geology and biology and
should consider a career in the earth sciences.

Jane’s CommentsMy grandfather was in the war and he used to
tell me stories how people got hurt. My history
teacher told me hundreds of people get hurt in
war and some even die. War is not a good
thing.

Jane’s CommentsI like The Group of Seven and Tom Thompson
paintings. Tom Thompson did a painting called
West Wind that is just beautiful. I wanted to do
something that pays homage to it.

Jane’s CommentsI didn’t know about residential schools before. I
felt bad for the families of some of my friends.
The forum helped me to learn more about their
experiences and it was my contribution in
helping them heal.
