Plants - Assessment

In the Year One Summative Assessment focused on plants, young learners are tested on their understanding of basic botany. The assessment begins with a question that requires students to label the different parts of a plant, reinforcing their knowledge of plant anatomy. Following this, they must identify which part of the plant is visited by bees, highlighting the relationship between plants and pollinators. The assessment continues by asking students to name two essential elements plants need for growth and health, ensuring they understand the basic requirements for plant care.

The test then moves on to a visual identification section, where children are asked to name flowers shown in pictures, testing their recognition skills. Another task requires them to differentiate between evergreen and deciduous trees, a concept that introduces them to the diversity of plant life cycles. Students are also presented with a picture of leaves and must identify the type of tree they belong to. Further, the assessment includes a matching exercise where students must connect parts of a plant to their respective functions, consolidating their understanding of plant physiology. They are then asked to name specific parts of a plant shown in pictures, and finally, they must categorize a list of plants as fruits or vegetables, which helps them to distinguish between different types of plant-based foods.
