Student scrutiny of questions
The importance of the question
Where do our questions sit on Bloom’s taxonomy?
Tier ExamplesRemember Students repeat something they
were told earlier. ‘Define effective nuclear charge’
Understand Students interpret what they know and information they are given.
‘How is effective nuclear charge dependent on atomic number across a period?’
Apply Students use their general interpretations in specific cases.
‘How does hydrogen bonding influence the boiling point of water?’
Analyse Students can relate multiple pieces of information, to reach conclusion on a topic.
‘Calculate electronegativity difference in the following bonds. What do you deduce about the nature of these bonds?’
Evaluate Students can use their analysis to reach value judgments.
‘Which of these compounds would best catalyse the following reaction?’
Create Students need to make something new.
‘Plan an experiment to test your hypothesis’
