Quick checks of understanding are the aim of this 3-page 5th grade science sheet. Page 1 has five multiple-choice questions with three options each, on the heart's job, red and white blood cells, the gas picked up in the lungs and the size of the heart. Page 2 asks students to match arteries, veins and capillaries to their jobs and to explain in writing why blood goes to the lungs first. The answers are on page 3.
4-LS1-1
“Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.”
Question 1, the vessel match and the lungs question ask students to connect heart and vessel structures to their jobs.
Five questions with check boxes, from what the heart does to which part of the blood fights germs.
Students write the letter A, B or C beside arteries, veins and capillaries to match each one to its job.
One question asks why the heart sends blood to the lungs before pumping it to the rest of the body. There are three lines to write on.
Checked boxes for all five questions, the three matches and a model answer.
End of unit
Give it after the last lesson on the circulatory system. It takes about 15 minutes, which leaves time to mark in class.
Spot the gap
Questions 2 and 3 separate red blood cells from white. Note who swaps them before you plan a recap.
Reteach with the short answer
Read two student answers to the lungs question aloud and ask the class which one mentions both carbon dioxide and oxygen.
