Blooms Taxonomy for Science 9 Unit Exam
a.1 Blooms Level: Knowledge/Comprehension- recognize the symbols/safety
equipment and what the equipment is used for.
a.2 Knowledge- the students were told what they needed to complete/do before every
lab, and now just need to restate it here.
a.3 Knowledge: students were given the meaning/word for each letter in the
acronym- just need to remember and restate.
a.4 Comprehension, application and potentially some analysis: students must
comprehend the meaning of corrosive and be able to apply safety measures to this
meaning. By explaining “why” students may also be doing some analysis.
a.5 Knowledge: students must recognize and know what each symbol means.
b.1 Knowledge: students must know and be able to communicate the meaning of the
words.
b.2 Knowledge: students should know the properties of chemical and physical
changes.
b.3 Application/comprehension: students must be able to interpret what the
observation means, and then organize the information according to type of change.
b.4 Comprehension: students need to know the characteristics of a chemical or
physical change and then decipher which one is which.
c.1 Application: students need to know how to draw a bohr diagram, and then apply
the ideas to the new atoms.
c.2 Knowledge: students must know the history of the atomic models.
c.3 Evaluation: students must pick an answer, and then be able to defend it by
evaluating both strengths and weakneses.
c.4 Knowledge/comprehension: students should know examples from class, and then
be able to explain why.
d.1 knowledge: students need to define the words they have learned.
d.2 Knowledge/comprehension: students must know the definition and then need to
be able to put that in relation to other information.
d.3 Knowledge/comprehension: students must know the definition and then need to
be able to put that in relation to other information.
e.1 Comprehension: students must identify which fall into which category.
f.1 Knowledge/Comprehension: students need to know the symbols for the elements,
or know where to look them up, but also need to apply naming rules to compound in
order to get their names or symbols.
g.1 Knowledge: students must know the definitions of these words.
g.2 Application: students need to be able to apply their knowledge of mixtures to be
able to draw a suitable diagram for this question.
h.1 Analysis: students need to understand the given formulae, and the information
they have in order to calculate these values.
h.2/h.3 Analysis: students need to use given information and formulae in order to
calculate these values.
i.1/i.2: Knowledge: both of the above questions are knowledge because they are
defining.
1.3/i.4: Comprehension: both of the two multiple choice questions are comprehension
because they need to know the definition of the words and then choose an appropriate
example.
Total of Each Level:
