Task 2: Practical Assessment (Marks:40) At the end of this specific part, students should be able to: Describe the formation, composition, and uses of rocks; Compare images of fossils to plants and animals living today; Identify places where important fossils can be found in South Africa; Describe some of the fossils found in South Africa; Discuss sound, practical, and meaningful assessment strategies appropriate for Grade 5 learners. Question 2 (Marks:40) Using your knowledge of Assessment FOR Learning, design a hands-on task for Grade 5 learners that is both interactive and educational. Your task should help learners actively engage with the content while encouraging exploration and reasoning. Additionally, you must provide a rationale for each question or task you design. Q.2.1 Interactive Learning Task Create an interactive task that evaluates what learners know while also teaching them as they complete the activity. Your task must: Identify and explain what makes a fossil a fossil. Help learners investigate the formation, composition, and uses of rocks. Encourage learners to compare fossils to modern plants and animals. Explore places where important fossils have been found in South Africa. Include a memo/rubric for evaluation. (25) TIP SHEET Rationale: Each question/task must include an element where learners explain their reasoning or process. For example: "Explain why you matched this fossil to a specific plant or animal." "Describe why fossils are found in certain layers of rock." Mark Allocation: Your task must have a total of 30 marks. Use the following breakdown as a guideline (but feel free to adapt it if necessary): What is a fossil? = 5 marks Formation, composition, and uses of rocks = 10 marks Comparison of fossils and modern plants/animals = 10 marks Important places where fossils are found in South Africa = 5 marks Interactive Ideas (Examples): You are not limited to these ideas but may use them for inspiration: Matching Game: Provide learners with cards or images of fossils and modern-day organisms. Ask them to match pairs and explain their choices. Rock Layer Diagram: Provide a diagram of rock layers for learners to label. Ask them to identify where fossils might be found and explain why. Fossil Timeline: Guide learners in creating a timeline or story of how a fossil forms. Final Task Requirements: Provide clear instructions for the learners to follow. Ensure the task is interactive and helps learners engage actively with the content. Include reasoning and explanation elements to develop critical thinking. Submit a rationale for each question/task, explaining your choices and how the activity supports Assessment FOR Learning (ways of thinking and doing). Q.2.2 Explain the rationale (the reasoning behind your design) of the task. Your rationale must include: The purpose of the question or activity. How the activity will help learners understand the content. How the activity encourages learners to reason and think critically.
