This assessment plan evaluates students' learning about the skeletal system over time. It includes entry-level thinking questions to start, formative assessments like quizzes, group work and labeling exercises. It culminates in a summative assessment where students work in groups to build a life-size skeleton model and take an exam testing their understanding of skeletal system functions, exercises, bone facts and health.

1. ASSESSMENT PLAN
Entry-Level
Think Quick – What is a
fact about that skeletal
system that you have
learned in a class before
this one?
Formative
Quiz – Name the bones
that we use in movement
activities and their major
functions (what they
protect, how they help us
move, etc.)
Group work – With a
group, look up and
brainstorm some exercises
that help us to keep our
bones strong and share
with the class.
Label the skeleton –
Students will label the
major bones of the
skeletal system on a
picture of a skeleton.
Short answer – Why do we
need to keep our bones
strong and healthy?
Summative
Group bones – With a
group, put together a life
size skeleton and label
either what each major
bone does for exercise, a
fun fact of that bone or an
exercise to make that
bone strong.
Exam – Functions of the
skeletal system, exercises
to make it stronger, facts
about the bones, and how
we can help our bones be
healthy.
