Purpose:
The purpose of this summative assessment is to help the teacher and students
determine if they have successfully mastered the learning targets in this unit, and
to indicate to the teacher if the cohesive unit was successful in terms of learning
and understanding of life cycles. In this assessment, students should be able to
show their understanding of the elements a plant or animal needs to survive, be
able to recognize the difference between a young and adult animal or plant, as well
as list and describe all parts or stages of a dragonflys, a horses, and a plants life
cycle. These organisms were picked in order to illustrate to students that the details
of life cycles can vary between organisms. This assessment will be given at the end
of the Life Cycles unit, and the results of this assessment will inform the teacher
about students levels of mastery in regards to the learning targets, and if any
material needs to be readdressed before moving onto the next unit.
