About this resource

This quiz focuses on plant structures and functions, specifically examining how plants obtain and transport the materials they need for survival. Designed for 5th grade students, the assessment covers fundamental botanical concepts including photosynthesis, plant anatomy, and physiological processes. Students need to understand that plants are autotrophic organisms that manufacture their own food, and they must identify the specialized structures that enable plant survival: roots for absorbing water and nutrients, leaves for capturing light and carbon dioxide, xylem for transporting water upward, and phloem for distributing sugar throughout the plant. The questions require students to connect structure to function, recognizing how stomata regulate gas exchange, how transpiration moves water through the plant system, and what basic resources all plants require regardless of size or species. Created by Keri Menebroker, a Science teacher in the US who teaches grade 5. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool to gauge student understanding of essential plant biology concepts before moving deeper into ecosystem relationships and adaptations. Teachers can use this assessment as a lesson opener to activate prior knowledge, as guided practice during instruction, or as a quick check for understanding at the end of a lesson on plant structures. The mix of true/false, multiple choice, and multiple selection questions provides varied opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge while accommodating different learning preferences. This assessment aligns with NGSS standard 5-LS1-1, which requires students to support arguments that plants get materials for growth primarily from air and water, making it an ideal tool for measuring student progress toward this performance expectation.
