I have used this assessment probe in the past, and I have thought it was very effective in assessing if students really understood erosion and weathering after exploring the concepts; however, I loved the idea of using this assessment in the beginning of the unit as a sort. What a great open ended way for students to explore the examples and come up with on their own how the examples are similar and different. I also loved the reflection tool provided at the end, I used to think but now I know.
Fantastic Tool

This formative assessment probe is a great way to gauge whether students understand the difference between weathering and erosion. I find that a lot of my students get the two confused since they're so closely related, and we spend a lot of time talking about the difference between the two. I've just finished teaching about weathering/erosion/deposition, and want to use this tool to assess their understanding. I wish I had it at the beginning of this unit so I could have done a pre/post-test using it!
I also love the reflection provided. It helps students assess their own learning and show how their thinking has changed through the unit.
