INVERTEBRATE TEST STUDY
GUIDE
The grade 6 test is out of 55 marks while the grade 7
test is out of 65 marks.
Both tests involve choice in some parts. In the
first 4 parts you will have a number of questions and you will be asked to
choose which questions you want to answer to total a certain number of
marks. The four sections have a total of 49 possible marks. Grade
6s will be asked to answer 36 marks worth, grade 7s to answer 39 marks worth.
You will have to choose questions from each of the 4 parts.
The fifth section on each test does not involve choice
– you have to answer all questions – this section makes up the rest of the
marks for the test. There are a few more questions in this part of the
test for grade 7s than there are for grade 6s.
Things you will want to know or be able to do:
·
Look at a
picture and identify what phylum that animal belongs to
·
Look at a
picture and identify what phylum and class that animal belongs to
·
Grade 7s –
identify what order an insect belongs to.
·
Know the
phyla, classes, and orders we have talked about in class (sometimes you will
have to identify them, sometimes you will just need to recognize the word and
know what it means in order to figure out what the question is asking).
There is a list on the back of this sheet and I will accept either the Latin
name or the more common English name (in brackets on the list).
·
Know the basic
characteristics of animals in each phylum or class (why do scientists group
certain animals together)
·
Give examples
of animals in each phyla, class, and order
·
Identify
differences or similarities between animals in the same or different phyla
·
There may be
other things that I am overlooking right now, but this will definitely cover
the majority of the test.
