Метапредметная диагностика на английском языке для учащихся 8–9-х классов по теме «Солнечная система»

Концепция Федеральной целевой программы развития образования включает в себя умение учащихся работать с большим объемом информации, развитие коммуникативных компетенций, креативности, способности к самообразованию на междисциплинарной основе. Помимо предметных и личностных результатов в ходе обучения школа должна обеспечить и метапредметные результаты.

По аналогии с предметными результатами для объективного оценивания достижений учащихся может быть использован кодификатор метапредметных результатов обучения, утверждённый Метапредметным советом Ассоциации учителей города Москвы - https://mcko.ru/pages/m_n_d_codificators.

С учетом перспективной модели ЕГЭ (https://fipi.ru/ege/perspektivnyye-modeli#!/tab/261252039-11 ) и в юбилейный год первого полета человека в космос актуально предложить учащимся 8-9 классов метапредметную диагностику на английском языке по теме «Солнечная система». Работа включает в себя три типа разноуровневых заданий для проверки читательских умений, умений по работе с графической информацией и общелогических умений в соответствии с кодификатором:

Вариант диагностики		Кодификатор метапредметных результатов обучения
№	Тип задания	Код (без детализации)	Универсальные учебные действия (УУД)
I	Проверка читательских умений при работе со сплошным текстом	6	Познавательные действия по работе с информацией и чтению
II	Проверка умений по работе с графической информацией	4	Познавательные знаково-символические действия
III	Проверка общелогических умений	3	Познавательные логические действия

Разноуровневые задания на английском языке для проверки читательских умений, умений по работе с графической информацией и общелогических умений

What is the Solar System? Read the text to find out and do the tasks below to check yourself.

Stars are huge balls of hot gas. A star with planets around it is called a Solar System. Our Sun has eight planets - this is our Solar System.

Groups of stars are called galaxies. Each galaxy has billions of stars. Our solar system is in a galaxy called the Milky Way that has 200 billion stars. There are billions of galaxies in the Universe.

The Universe is everything that exists - all the stars in all the galaxies. It appeared in a single moment, called the Big Bang, about 14 billion years ago. Before then, there were no stars.

The Sun and all other stars are made of two gases called hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen changes into helium in a process called nuclear fusion. This process produces heat and light. Our Sun is about 150 million kilometers away from Earth, but it's not enough to burn you at the beach! Plants on Earth use energy from the Sun to grow. Animals and people also get their energy from the Sun because they eat plants.

A planet goes around, or orbits, a star. It takes our planet Earth one year to orbit the Sun. A planet also turns on its axis. It takes Earth 24 hours to do a complete turn on its axis. When a place on Earth is opposite the Sun, it's daytime in that place.

1. Which of these statements are true?

a) The Solar System is a group of planets with a star.

b) The Sun's heat is enough to burn you at the beach.

c) The Universe is smaller than a galaxy.

d) A star goes around a planet.

e) The Earth revolves around the Sun in 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds.

f) When a place on Earth is opposite the Moon, it's often nighttime in that place.

2. Sort out the names:

Neptune, Venus, Vega, Mars, Andromeda, Uranus, Sirius, Jupiter, Large Magellanic Cloud, Mercury, Altair, Saturn

III. Проверка умений по работе с графической информацией

Study the diagram and do the tasks below.

1. Complete an extract from a report based on the diagram:

Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the ______ planets.

The four smaller inner planets, ______________________, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets. The two largest planets, ______________, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, _____________, are ice giants.

The Solar System also contains smaller objects. The _____________, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, mostly contains objects composed, like the terrestrial planets, of rock and metal. Beyond Neptune's orbit lie the __________ and scattered disc, which are populations of trans-Neptunian objects composed mostly of ices.

2. Use the diagram to range the objects' names according to the number of their largest moons - start with the least number:

the objects' names
	Venus
	Mercury
the number of the largest moons	0

III. Проверка общелогических умений

Use the diagram and your knowledge of the Solar System to solve the problems below.

Theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking argued for space colonization as a means of saving humanity. Hawking predicted that the human race would become extinct within the next thousand years, unless colonies could be established in space.

1. Which one of the closest objects may be more habitable and why? Tick the right boxes () to show the reasons, compare them and write your choice, explaining which factor (№) proved to be the most decisive.

The existence of necessary conditions for terraforming	Objects
	Moon	Mars	Venus
1. the sufficient gravity to hold the atmosphere with appropriate gaseous composition and humidity
2. the enough solar energy to warm up the surface and atmosphere
3. the sufficient amount of water to sustain the population of the planet with plants and animals
4. the radiation background of Earth
5. the solid surface
6. the magnetic field
7. the safe location of the asteroid belt
Conclusion

2. Which statement best explains why Pluto is not a planet? Underline the correct answer.

A. It doesn't orbit a star.

B. It isn't big enough to have enough gravity to force it into a spherical shape.

C. It isn't big enough that its gravity cleared away any other objects of a similar size near its orbit around the Sun.

The Solar System also contains smaller objects. The Asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, mostly contains objects composed, like the terrestrial planets, of rock and metal. Beyond Neptune's orbit lie the Kuiper belt and scattered disc, which are populations of trans-Neptunian objects composed mostly of ices.
