Instructional Ideas

  • Use pupil responses to these questions to guide a unit on how ecosystems respond to change (natural and man-made)

Classroom Considerations

  • Give classes around 15 minutes to complete
  • Copies of test need to be in color in order for the map on page two to be effective

Pros

  • Assessment consists of multiple-choice and short-answer questions, allowing teachers to see depth of knowledge
  • Asks class members to analyze graphs, diagrams, and images, which requires higher order thinking skills

Cons

  • None
