Turn your lesson into a complete assessment pack

Not just a list of questions. A student paper, an answer key with a real mark scheme, a rubric, a blueprint mapping every question to an objective, an exit ticket, and supported and extension versions — generated together and editable before you print.

What the pack includes

One generation produces all of it, aligned to the objectives you gave. Every part is editable, and the marks recalculate as you edit.

  • Assessment title and teacher overview
  • The learning objectives being assessed
  • An assessment blueprint mapping every question to an objective
  • Student instructions written to the student
  • The student assessment itself
  • An answer key with model answers
  • Mark allocation for every question
  • A marking guide with mark-by-mark breakdowns
  • An analytic or holistic rubric
  • An exit ticket with its model answer
  • An easier supported version, question for question
  • A more challenging extension version
  • Suggested feedback statements
  • A teacher review checklist for this assessment
  • An accommodated version — presentation and response mode only

Two documents, never one

The student paper and the answer key are separate files. The student version is built by stripping every answer, mark scheme and teacher note — so there is no way for an answer to end up on the paper you photocopy.

Photosynthesis — End-of-topic quiz

Time allowed:
20 minutes
Total marks:
10

Answer all four questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. You have 20 minutes. You may not use your notes.

  1. 1. Which gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

    (1 mark)
    • A. Oxygen
    • B. Carbon dioxide
    • C. Nitrogen
    • D. Hydrogen

  2. 2. Complete the word equation: carbon dioxide + ____________ → glucose + ____________

    (2 marks)

  3. 3. Explain why a plant kept in complete darkness for a week cannot make glucose.

    (3 marks)

  4. 4. Using the results in the table, describe what happens to the rate of photosynthesis as light intensity increases, and suggest why the rate stops rising after 60%.

    (4 marks)

    Light intensity (%): 20 40 60 80 100 Bubbles of oxygen per minute: 8 17 26 27 26

What you get

  1. 1. Which gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

    Answer:
    B — Carbon dioxide
    Model:
    Carbon dioxide.
    Guidance:
    One mark for B. No mark for a correct letter with a contradictory reason.
    Multiple choice
    1 mark
    Remember

  2. 2. Complete the word equation: carbon dioxide + ____________ → glucose + ____________

    Answer:
    water; oxygen
    Model:
    carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
    Marks:
    1 mark for water; 1 mark for oxygen
    Guidance:
    Accept 'H2O' for water and 'O2' for oxygen. Do not accept 'sunlight' in either blank — light is a condition, not a reactant.
    Fill in the blank
    2 marks
    Remember

  3. 3. Explain why a plant kept in complete darkness for a week cannot make glucose.

    Model:
    Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, and that energy is what drives the reaction that joins carbon dioxide and water into glucose. With no light there is no energy for the reaction, so no glucose is made.
    Marks:
    1 mark for identifying that light is required; 1 mark for linking chlorophyll to absorbing light energy; 1 mark for explaining that without that energy the reaction cannot proceed
    Guidance:
    Look for the causal chain, not the keywords. A response that names chlorophyll but never links light to energy scores 1.
    Short answer
    3 marks
    Understand

  4. 4. Using the results in the table, describe what happens to the rate of photosynthesis as light intensity increases, and suggest why the rate stops rising after 60%.

    Model:
    The rate rises steadily from 8 to 26 bubbles per minute as light intensity increases from 20% to 60%. After 60% the rate levels off at about 26–27 bubbles per minute. This suggests light is no longer the limiting factor — something else, such as carbon dioxide concentration or temperature, is now limiting the rate.
    Marks:
    1 mark for describing the increase; 1 mark for quoting supporting figures from the table; 1 mark for identifying that the rate plateaus; 1 mark for naming another limiting factor
    Guidance:
    Award the data marks for quoting figures from the table, not for describing the shape in words alone. The final mark needs a named alternative limiting factor.

Every question mapped to an objective

The blueprint is worked out from the questions themselves, so it can never describe a paper you have since edited. Change a mark or delete a question and the table and the total move with it.

Every question maps to an objective and the marks add up to 10. Review the wording and answers before use.

Differentiation that keeps the standard

Every pack comes with a supported version and an extension version that mirror the paper question for question, so all three assess the same objectives. The supported version shortens the route to the answer; it never answers it.

Supported version

Same objectives, same marks. The scaffolding shortens the route to the answer without answering it.

  • Q3: A plant is kept in complete darkness for a week. Explain why it cannot make glucose. Use these words in your answer: chlorophyll, light, energy.
  • Q4: Look at the table. (a) What happens to the number of bubbles between 20% and 60%? (b) What happens after 60%? (c) Suggest one reason the rate stops rising.

Accommodations

Presentation and response mode only — chunked sections, more spacing, larger print, vocabulary support, an oral response option.

  • Instructions rewritten as one short sentence per step
  • Line spacing increased and each question given its own page
  • Data presented as a vertical list as well as a table
  • Oral response accepted for question 3
  • Key vocabulary printed in a box at the top of the paper

These adjustments do not change the objective being assessed. They are not a judgement about any individual learner, and not a claim of legal compliance in your jurisdiction.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick what you're assessing

    A saved lesson, a saved unit, content you paste in, or just a topic and a list of objectives.

  2. 2

    Set the shape of the paper

    Assessment type, how many questions or how long it should take, and — if you want them — question types, difficulty spread, Bloom levels and total marks.

  3. 3

    Generate the pack

    Questions, answer key, mark scheme, rubric, blueprint, exit ticket and differentiated versions, all in one pass.

  4. 4

    Edit, check and export

    Change any question, regenerate one for free, watch the marks recalculate, then export the student paper and the answer key as separate files.

Word and PDF, one file per job

Five separate documents come out of one pack, each in both formats. Tick black and white before you export and nothing is printed you would have to pay for in colour; tick large print and the whole document scales up.

  • Student paper — no answers anywhere
  • Teacher answer key with the full mark scheme
  • The rubric on its own, for sharing with students
  • The assessment blueprint, landscape so it stays readable
  • The complete pack in one document
  • Large print and black-and-white options on every one
