Opportunities to assess student performance include:

Group discussion of the poem "Going for Water," by Robert Frost (see Resources), and answers on the Study Guide for Robert Frost's "Going for Water" PDF • Word
Predicted water weights: the predictions should become closer to actual as you go down the list if students are applying what they learn as each new volume is weighed.
Correct ordering of volumes from least to greatest
Accurate measurement of time, using stopwatches
Correct calculations of average time, number of gallons used in a day, and time needed to haul that much water
