This 1st grade science check fits on one page, with the answer key on page 2. Students write flower, stem, leaf or roots beside four numbered pointer lines on a tulip. They then check one of three answers to what takes in water, what leaves do and what a flower makes. The last task is to draw a seed in a box. It works as an end of unit check on the parts of a plant and their jobs.
“Name four parts of a plant on a diagram.”
Items 1 to 4 label the flower, leaf, stem and roots on a tulip.
“Say the job of a plant part: roots take in water, leaves make food and flowers make seeds.”
Items 5 to 7 are three multiple-choice questions, one for each job.
Four numbered lines point to the flower, a leaf, the stem and the roots. A four-word bank sits above the writing lines.
Three questions with three choices each: which part takes in water, what leaves do and what a flower makes.
A box beside the questions for a drawing of a seed.
The four labels, the checked choice for each question and a note that seed drawings will vary.
Exit ticket
Hand it out in the last ten minutes of the unit. It is a single page, so marking with the key beside you is quick.
Before and after
Give the same page before the unit and again after it. Compare the four labels and three answers to see what each student gained.
Look at the seed
Check item 8 first when marking. A student who draws a bean or a sunflower seed knows what a seed is, not only the word.
