Habitats Vocab - Assessment

The assessment is centred around key vocabulary words related to habitats, specifically focusing on reproduction and the growth of living organisms. Students are presented with a list of terms such as 'life cycle', 'reproduce', 'sexual', 'asexual', 'sperm', 'fertilises', 'egg', 'live young', 'metamorphosis', 'plantlets', 'runners', 'bulbs', 'cuttings', and 'gestation'. These words encompass a range of reproductive strategies from both the animal and plant kingdoms, including the process of organisms developing from a single cell to maturity and the various methods by which plants and animals can produce offspring.

The assessment format encourages students to reflect on their understanding of each term by categorising their knowledge into three levels: not knowing the term, knowing what it means, and being able to use it in a sentence. This structure not only helps teachers gauge the students' vocabulary comprehension but also provides an opportunity for students to actively engage with the words. By applying the terms in context, students demonstrate a deeper grasp of the concepts, which is essential for understanding the complexities of habitats and the life processes within them.
