One printed page checks 2nd grade knowledge of plant life cycles, with the answer key on page 2. Students number four pictures (an adult plant, a seed, a flower with seeds and a seedling) in order, then tick answers to three questions about what a seed needs, how a burr travels and what a flower makes. A last question asks why a plant life cycle is a circle. It works as an exit ticket after the unit.
“Put the stages of a plant's life cycle in order.”
Question 1 asks students to number four pictures from the seed to the flower with seeds.
“Say what a seed needs, how a burr travels and what a flower makes.”
Questions 2 to 4 are three-choice questions on these three facts.
“Explain why a life cycle is a circle.”
Question 5 asks for a written reason.
Four small pictures, an adult plant, a seed, a flower with seeds and a seedling, each with a box for the numbers 1 to 4.
Three questions with three tick boxes each: what a seed needs to start growing, how a burr travels and what a flower makes.
A short answer with three writing lines asking why a plant life cycle is a circle.
The picture order 3, 1, 4, 2 from left to right, the ticked answers and a model sentence for the last question.
Exit ticket
Give it at the end of the last lesson in the unit. Four short tasks and one written answer fit in about ten minutes.
Before the unit
Use it as a pre-check and keep the sheets. Compare each written answer to question 5 with the same question afterwards.
Quick marking
Questions 1 to 4 have one right answer each, so you can mark the pile fast. Read question 5 yourself to see who can explain the cycle.
