"Record how the seeds germinate into saplings from day 1 to day 10". Rita gave this task to her students before teaching the lesson on 'Germination'. She is trying to assess her students' ability to :
(a) draw and represent
(b) predict how germinating seeds would look like
(c) observe and record
(d) infer from the given activity
Answer: C
The key gives (b), (c) and (d): predict, observe and record, and infer.
Because the task is given before the lesson, children must predict what will happen to the seeds, then observe and record the changes day by day, and finally draw conclusions about germination from their records. These are the process skills the task assesses.
Drawing may be one way of recording, but 'draw and represent' is not the skill the task is designed to assess, which is why options containing (a) are not preferred.
