Classification - Self Assessment
Science Resource Description
This self-assessment checklist is designed for students to evaluate their understanding and skills in the field of biology, specifically in the area of classification of living organisms. The checklist prompts students to reflect on whether they can identify and name various living things, which is a fundamental skill in biology. It also asks them to consider their ability to classify living things based on their characteristics, a process that involves observing and distinguishing the different features that define and separate species.
Furthermore, the checklist inquires if students are capable of using a classification key, a tool that aids in the systematic categorization of living organisms based on sequential choices related to their traits. The repetitive structure of the checklist implies that it is meant for multiple assessments over time, allowing students to track their progress. The phrase "My teacher says:" provides a space for educators to give individual feedback on each of these competencies, ensuring that students receive guidance tailored to their learning journey.
