Assessment Activities
Note: This element is very similar to SKL1c. The following activities may
be applicable to that standard and element.
(1) Sort photographs of plants and group them by similarities and
differences. Have children explain why they sorted the plants and/or
their criteria for sorting. This can be done in small group or one-on-one.
(2) In small groups, create a book about plants and their similarities and
differences. Have children talk about their book. Teacher can keep the
class book to put in the student portfolio as a work sample. (This activity
might be done with different types of leaves.)
(3) The student will choose plants and describe how they are similar and
different in his/her journal. Teacher will keep the journal page as a work
sample for the student portfolio.
