Theoretical Framework/Level of Cognitive Demand

Bloom’s Taxonomy:

A 7th grade teacher is beginning to plan a unit of lessons on the following Earth Science Standard:

7.ESS.5: The relative positions of Earth and the sun cause patterns we call seasons.  

Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5°. This tilt along with Earth’s revolution around the sun, affects the amount of direct sunlight that the earth receives in a single day and throughout the year (global daylight hours). The average daily temperature is related to the amount of direct sunlight received (solar insolation).  

 

Throughout the unit students will be looking at data including the number of daylight hours in cities around the globe and solar insolation data (this data shows how much energy from the sun is reaching the Earth at different times in the year).

Directions: The teacher wrote the following learning targets. Identify the level of cognitive demand according to Bloom’s Taxonomy.

1. Given yearly global daylight hours of cities around the globe, the student will order their location from the north to south pole and give correct justification for their order.

Bloom’s Level:

2. Given the number of daylight hours and high/low monthly temperature of 16 different cities, the student will sort 14/16 cities into the correct season.

Bloom’s Level:

3. Given daylight hours of 5 cities in the southern hemisphere and high/low temperatures, the student will determine the yearly seasons of both locations with 80% accuracy.

Bloom’s Level:

4. Given solar insolation data from a fictitious planet, the student will determine the yearly seasonal changes of the fictitious planets with 75% accuracy.

Bloom’s Level:

5. Given a list of explanations, the student will choose the correct explanation of why we experience seasonal changes on Earth.

Bloom’s Level:

Directions: Put a star, X, or checkmark next to the row you think is in the correct order from lower to higher level of cognitive demand. Note: These learning targets are not aligned to one standard.
