Test Question #1
They goal of this test
question is to have students distinguish between natural and man-made greenhouse
gases. Rather than recalling and listing various gases that contribute to the increasing
rate of global warming, I choose to provide students with a list of common
gases and have them distinguish between the two. I felt that this task required
students to examine how the gases were being used/produced in order to
distinguish if they were man-made or natural gases.
Test Question # 2
For this question, I wanted students to use their
acquired knowledge and offer suggestions of how we as individuals can help slow
the rate of global warming. I felt that an essay format was best as it would
provide evidence of student knowledge, thinking ability, and attitude towards
the topic. The essay format also allows students to provide more than one right
answer and think outside the box.
Test Question # 3
Students should be
aware that the greenhouse effect and global warming are two separate things. (the
greenhouse effect keeps the planet in a state that allows life to flourish;
global warming creates climate change which can adversely affect the planet).
To receive maximum credit students must comprehend the concept of the
greenhouse effect and understand that how it correlates to global warming. By
asking this test question in a restricted essay format, students are required
to focus on a specific topic while recalling pertinent information.
Test Question # 4
For this test question, students will be asked to
match vocabulary terms to their definitions. I tried to create more definitions
than vocabulary words in order to make it a bit more difficult for students.
