Pre-unit assessment--Student drawings of caterpillar and stages of caterpillar life (See Procedure Step 6 in Teacher’s Guide.)

Student Drawings of Caterpillar

  • Are students able to correctly draw some parts of a caterpillar?

1. For conceptual benchmarks.
2. Bolded sections indicate portion of benchmark addressed
3. Unless noted as a Summative Assessment, the assessments are formative and should be used to guide teaching and learning.
