Year 2 Science – Biology FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT CHECKLISTS

LESSON 2 Week 7 LESSON 3 WEEK 8

1. Was the student able to identify the four stages of a butterfly’s
life cycle by correctly labelling them?
2. Was the student able to make a prediction about what a
mealworm would look like as an adult?
X = Not demonstrated
Y = Demonstrated at the expected achievement level
S = Still working towards their understanding
Objective: Write at least two changes that two living things go
through when they grow and progress through their life cycle
Students have to write:
1.The name of two living things
2. At least two changes that the livings things go through when
they grow
X = Not demonstrated
Y = Demonstrated at the expected achievement level

Year 2 Science – Biology SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT RUBRIC
Science Understanding
At Standard, students describe changes to materials and living things, and how a push or a pull affects an object’s behaviour. They identify that certain materials and resources
have different uses.

Science as a Human Endeavour

Students describe examples of where science is used in people’s daily lives.

Science Inquiry Skills

Students pose and respond to questions about their experiences and predict outcomes of investigations. They use informal measurements to make and compare observations.
Students record and represent observations and communicate ideas in a variety of ways.
