A 1st grade science exit slip printed three to a page, so one sheet serves three students. Each slip asks which season has the most daylight and whether days get longer or shorter in winter. A row of five faces, from angry to very happy, lets students rate how they feel about the lesson. There is no answer key, since the answers are summer and shorter. Both questions check NGSS 1-ESS1-2.
1-ESS1-2
“Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year.”
Both questions relate the amount of daylight to a time of year: question 1 to summer, question 2 to winter.
Students name the season with the most daylight and say whether winter days get longer or shorter. Each slip has its own name line.
Five faces to circle, from angry to very happy, as a quick self-check on the lesson.
Last five minutes
Cut the page into three and give each student one slip at the end of your daylight lesson.
Plan tomorrow
Sort the slips into two piles: summer and shorter, and everything else. The second pile is your small group for the next lesson.
Read the faces
The face row flags students who felt lost even when their answers are right. Check in with anyone who circled one of the first two faces.
