Introduction to Rocks - Self Assessment

An introduction to rocks provides students with the opportunity to explore and understand the diverse characteristics of various rock types. This self-assessment tool is designed to encourage learners to reflect on their ability to describe the distinct features of different rocks, such as texture, colour, hardness, and grain size. It also prompts them to consider their competency in classifying rocks based on these observed features. The self-assessment is structured with repetitive questions that guide students to evaluate their own understanding and skills in these areas.

The assessment includes space for teacher feedback, allowing educators to offer personalised guidance and support to each student. This feedback is crucial in helping students to identify areas where they may need further instruction or practice. The self-assessment is iterative, with the same questions repeated, reinforcing the key learning objectives of describing and classifying rocks. This repetition also serves as a reminder for students to continually reflect on their learning progress throughout the topic.
