Students are provided with a series of six labelled diagrams showing a bean seed germinating and developing into a small plant with leaves. Students write sentences describing what is occuring at each stage.
Students are asked to construct and label a line graph of words typed per minute by two students for each day of the week. Data is provided in a frequency table.
Students answer one question about diet given the type of beak that birds have. Students are also asked about how scientists might investigate information about moa.
Task: View photograph to explain how a chiton protects itself in its environment. Assessment focus: identifying features that help to protect an animal in its particular environment.
In this practical task, students follow a plan to construct a water timer. They then put on markings for times 1-5 minutes based on observations and recordings.
Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on the question to investigate, conduct the survey, complete the tally chart, and construct and label a bar graph.
Students conduct a practical, statistical investigation. They decide on a Topic and question, conduct the survey, complete the tally chart, construct a bar graph of the major ideas and make statements about the results.
Task: Students fill in a chart to select the best material for making 6 objects, and give reasons for their answers. Assessment focus: properties of materials related to use.
Students calculate the height of two cylinders given the radius, and identify a correct general statement about the relationship between radius and height for a given volume.
Students use place value rods in this practical task to build up square patterns. Students then predict the number needed for the next pattern and explain their rule.
Students write the simplest algebraic expressions for the lengths and area of parts of a composite shape, then solve these expressions using substitution. They then solve an equation that relates an algebraic expression to a given side length.
This practical task requires students to use straws to build up a linear pattern. Students then predict the number of straws needed for successive patterns and explain their rule.
