Methodological recommendations for Summative Assessment Biology
(natural science and mathematics)
Grade 11
Nur-Sultan, 2020
Methodical recommendations (Guidelines) are created to help the teachers in planning, organizing and conducting of summative assessment of units on the subject "Biology" for 11 grade students. Guidelines are prepared on the basis of the Subject programme and curriculum.
Tasks for summative assessment of unit will allow the teacher to determine the level of achievement of the learning objectives by the students planned for a term. In the methodological recommendations for a summative assessment tasks, assessment criteria with descriptors and marks are proposed. The possible levels of educational achievements of students (rubrics) are also described in the booklet. Tasks with descriptors and marks are given as recommendations.
Guidelines are intended for primary school teachers, school administrators, methodologists of education departments, regional and school coordinators for criteria-based assessment and other stakeholders.
Resources that were used (pictures, texts, video and audio materials, etc.) in preparing the guidelines are publicly available on official Internet sites.

Task
Explain why it happens.
A population of moose has been studied by ecologists for a long time. The animals’ only predator is the wolf. A population of wolves has changed in numbers over the years.
(ii) Label trophic levels. |
- Complete the sentence: “A large variety of species in the ecosystem, a variety of food chains, a balanced circulation of substances is the basis of …”
- A distribution of species in other ecosystems
- B fluctuations in population numbers
- C sustainable ecosystem development
- D the emergence of new species
- Orientation of Isopods in Response to Moisture is shown in the figure 4. Behavior chambers (choice chambers) were set up so that one side was moist and one side was dry (using filter paper cut to the size of a choice chamber). Five isopods were placed on each side of the chamber (total of 10).

Summative assessment for the unit “11.4B Ecology and the impact of human activities on the environment”
Learning objectives | 11.3.2.1 11.3.2.2 | predict the effects of possible global warming study and suggest possible solutions to environmental problems in Kazakhstan |

Level of thinking skills | Application High order skills | |
Time | 20 minutes | |
Tasks 1. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is currently 385 ppm (parts per million). Variations in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be studied using ice-cores. An ice-core record covering the last 400 000 years has been obtained from Vostok in the Antarctic. The graph below shows the carbon dioxide concentrations that were measured at different depths in the ice. Atmospheric temperatures are also shown on the graph. These were deduced from ratios of oxygen isotopes. The upper line on the graph shows CO2 concentrations and the lower line shows temperature. (a )(i) State the highest carbon dioxide concentration shown in the graph (ii) State the highest temperature shown in the graph (b) Using the data in the graph, deduce the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.
