Note: This is not meant to be a rigorous assessment. It is designed to be a fun way to review key terms and vocabulary suitable for 3rd grade science and 4th grade science. It could be used for test prep or informal assessment.
Note: Due to the nature of the form and privacy issues of students across multiple schools completing it, you won’t receive the results of students. Since it is self-marked and they can’t progress to the next level without getting the answer correct, this isn’t usually an issue. However, if you need to see that your students completed the task for accountability, after purchasing, please send me an email at katrina@theanimatedteacherblog.com and I will send you a form just for your class with the results spreadsheet.
Make learning fun again with this digital classroom escape!
