Energy | Assessment Review
A short Grade 7 biology review lesson on energy. Students revisit how living things obtain, use, and transfer energy through simple discussion, quick examples, and a guided recap activity.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Energy | The ability to do work or cause change. |
| Producer | A living thing, like a plant, that makes its own food using sunlight. |

Ask: “Where do living things get energy?” Record a few quick answers on the board.
Think, then share short responses.
Review the key idea that all living things need energy. Explain that plants make food and animals get energy by eating plants or other animals.
Listen, repeat key ideas, and answer simple questions.
Say each vocabulary word and ask students to give a simple meaning or example. Support with prompts as needed.
Match terms to meanings orally or in notebooks.
Ask a few review questions such as: “Why do plants matter in a food chain?” and “What is one way animals use energy?”
Answer in one sentence or with a partner.
Summarize the lesson in two or three clear points and correct any misunderstandings.
Share one thing they remember about energy.
End by asking students to complete the statement: “Today I learned that energy is important because…”
