Effective Questioning for Assessment for Learning
• Planned Questions
• Concept questions
• Lens Questions
• Student Questions
Planning QuestionsA key part of the lesson planning process is thinking
about the questions we ask in order to:• Ascertain where the students are in their
understanding• Tease out misconceptions that the students may
have• Avoid activities becoming just ‘busy work’• Get students to think through different lenses –
e.g How would a Forensic scientist approach this? An Environmental Health Officer?
Planning QuestionsSometimes the best assessment for learning that you can
carry out with your students is to give them quick and useful feedback when they are carrying out an activity
By asking these planned questions, you will be ensuring that:
a) the students are really thinking about what they are doing and why they are doing it
b) the students are thinking about the quality of the evidence and/or data they are going to forming
c) the students are thinking about the cause and effect factors
Assessment for Learning
When you are taking lichen measurements, your teacher may be taking photographs and will be asking you:
• What are you doing and specifically, WHY you are doing it.
• Are the measurements you are taking going to support a conclusion. If so, How?
• How would a Environmental Health Officer approach this task differently from you?
• What might affect the lichen growth in this area? Why might it do this?

Much less ivory was needed for things such as billiard balls and knife handles, so elephants were saved from extinction.

What if plastics had not been invented? There would be much greater demand for natural materials that are easy to shape.

Wood is easy to shape and so we would be cutting down even more trees than we do at present.

2. Plastics were the first truly synthetic material - there is no substance in nature with their chemical structure.
Because they do not exist in nature, there are no micro-organisms that can break them down, so they don't biodegrade.
What if nothing is done? We will have increasing problems with waste plastic such as plastic bags.
We need to develop a biodegradable plastic.
