    This document provides a summative assessment for Year 7 students on ecosystems. It consists of 3 sections worth a total of 25 marks: describe questions worth 10 marks, explain questions worth 10 marks, and evaluate questions worth 5 marks. The assessment tests students' understanding of key terms like biome and adaptation. It asks students to describe the global distribution of biomes like rainforests and their climatic conditions. Students are also asked to explain differences between biomes and adaptations of plants and animals. The final question evaluates the importance of different biomes. Feedback at the end commends the student's clear understanding and use of examples, but suggests focusing answers, engaging with advice, and showing more depth when describing and evaluating.

    S – What are the successes of the work?


     You have clearly understood the meaning of the term biome.
     You have clearly been able to use maps to identify spatial distribution patterns.
     Your written descriptions and explanations show detail, and evidence of PEE
    paragraphs.
     Prior knowledge is drawn-upon, as your descriptions and explanations show examples
    seen and discussed in class.
     You are able to integrate key language into your written responses.
     You have clearly revised hard and taken advice to improve.

    I – How could the work be improved?


     Think carefully before writing your answers, as some were rushed and showed little
    structure.
     You must be willing to actively engage with advice given to help with your progress.
    As your Term 2 progression, targets were ignored.
     To show clearer understanding of the learning you must be willing to revisit all
    learning inquiry shown in the lesson PowerPoints.
     Before assessments in the future, make sure you can define or remember the key
    language given in-class, as these will always make up a proportion of the question
    content.
     Always try to use real world examples to justify your points.
     When describing and evaluating you need to write showing more depth. These
    questions require PEE paragraphs.
    D – A question I would like to ask about the topic so far………

     Name one adaptation [of a plant or animal] that


    fascinates you the most and why.
     Why is the rainforest biome so important to human
    life?
     What’s so unique about the rainforest biome?
     What word is used to describe the rainforest climate,
    beginning with the letter H? Why is this word used?
    Discussion: response to teacher question about my work
    Feedback Lesson – Assessment Three Ecosystems

    What went well in your CFU? What were your successes?

    In your opinion, why were these things a success for you?

    How do you move forward? What are your suggested improvements moving into Year 8?

    Can you suggest further improvements for yourself that your teacher might have missed?
    Choose one improvement; how will you begin to really address this and show progress for your first
    assessment in Year 8?
