What is Air? Pre-Assessment

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This What is Air? Pre-Assessment lesson plan also includes:
  • Air: Pre-assessment
  • The Science of Air Teacher's Guide
  • Answer Key
  • Assessment
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

First, estimate existing knowledge about air with a class discussion. Then, hand out a 10-question pre-assessment quiz to record how much pupils know to compare to their knowledge later. This will also give mini meteorologists the breadth of what will be covered in the unit. Realize that although this is a rather simple, and perhaps not very exciting lesson in and of itself, it is a fine preparation for a lofty unit!
