What educators are saying

This was great to use as an end of unit final assessment. The assessment in Amplify is kind of short and not comprehensive. I did make a study guide for my students before they took this assessment.
Also included in
  1. Amplify science unit assessments are great, but how can we better support learning and assess what students really know? This bundle includes all unit assessments that align to the units within Amplify Science for 6th Grade Science, but are designed to provide students with a learning experience as

Description

This unit assessment is aligned to concepts for the Traits and Reproduction Unit. This assessment is designed to supplement the assessment provided by Amplify Science, however can be implemented without use of the curriculum to assess the conceptual understanding of the inheritance on traits and reproduction of parakeets. 

The assessment is designed to include a storyline about traits and reproduction to engage learners in making sense of the phenomena presented. The assessment includes texts and models for students to draw conclusions and answer targeted questions about traits and reproduction. 

The assessment is designed with the 3 Dimensions of NGSS in mind, and highlights the ability for students to do science throughout the assessment. An answer key is provided, along with a clear rubric for a written CER response. Within the answer key, you will see how each question aligned with a science and engineering practice. 

The assessment includes 11 questions and 1 CER response. For the CER response, there is a scaffolded writing template included. This template can be given to students requiring additional support in CER writing.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSMS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
