Level 1 - Knowledge
A solid foundation is necessary for any building. Knowledge is the foundation of learning. Knowledge is tested by asking a student to remember previously learned information. Sample Knowledge Level tasks:
1 Match the words with the correct definitions. 2 Count to 100 by 5s. 3 Read the story. 4 Name the parts of speech. 5 List the 5 classes of vertebrates.
Landforms Maps Matching Pictures Pictures & Labels Pictures & Definitions
Science
Level 2 - Understanding
The objective at the Understanding Level is to grasp the meaning of information. Understanding is tested by asking a student to interpret or restate information. Sample Understanding Level tasks:
1 Give an example of a mammal. 2 Solve this addition problem with 3 addends. 3 Find the subject of the sentences. 4 Explain why an alligator is a reptile. 5 Classify these statements as facts or opinions.
Basic Operations: add, subtract, multiply, divide whole numbers. Describe plot and setting, find the main idea and details in a story.
Reading
Geography
Give examples of landforms; find places on a map. Distinguish between fish and birds.
Science
Level 3 - Application
At the Application level, the objective is to apply knowledge to actual situations. The Application level is task oriented. Sample Application Level tasks:
Level 3 - Application
Many jobs only require people who operate at this level. Most classroom teachers do not teach beyond this level. Many good students who want right answers for questions stay at this level. Upper level thinking requires going beyond the Application level.

Level 4 - Analysis
Analysis involves the breaking down of objects and/or ideas into simpler parts in order to see how the parts are related and organized. The Analyst asks, Why? Many adults usually dont like to be asked questions that they cant answer. To effectively learn at the analysis level, students must become accustomed to looking for their own information resources.
Level 4 Analysis
One needs to move between levels depending upon the object or idea that is being analyzed and/or developed. Example: Improvements in the windshield wipers on cars.
Constantly moving wipers were a distraction. Solve the problem. (analysis) First came different speeds and then intermittent wipers. (synthesis) After they development, test them. (application)
Application/Analysis Contrasts
Classification Line
Application Task - Classify these animals by sorting them according to the characteristics listed on the classification line. Analysis Task - Classify these animals and make a classification line that can be used to teach others. Application Task - Factor a trinomial using the a graphing calculator. Analysis Task - Factor a trinomial using the most efficient method. Explain your reason for choosing this method.
Algebra
Level 5 - Synthesis
Synthesis involves the putting objects and/or ideas together in new or different ways to accomplish a specific purpose or to solve a problem. The Synthesizer asks, How can I achieve this objective? Synthesis usually involves a lot of trial and error. Synthesis may also involve small modifications in existing things or ideas.
Level 5 Synthesis
The inventor must move easily between the synthesis, analysis, and application levels. He may also need to go back to the knowledge and understanding levels as he learns new concepts. Research find needs; ask, Why? Synthesis determine possible solutions; Ask What if? Application try it out. Return to research find out what doesnt work and why.
Level 6 - Evaluation
The use of the term Evaluation is highly subjective. Evaluation is making judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria. To qualify as evaluation, finding errors and/or making improvements is critical.
Level 6 - Evaluation
Evaluation is the process of:
determining the flaws in a project or task determining how to fix any flaws or defects in an activity
