Sharing assignments in OpenClass
OpenClass is on a mission to improve & democratize education. Through our platform, educators can share assignments privately or with our entire community to improve accessibility of the best learning resources around the world.
Our assignments guide students through research-backed study sessions to reinforce learning. If this review is relevant to your teachings, feel free to add it to one of your classes!
Our format is simple and engaging: students are asked a retrieval question, then shown corrective feedback and a multiple-choice mastery question to assess their understanding of the material. Assignments adapt to unique student needs and continue to draw questions until a student has demonstrated mastery.

What are trophic levels and how do they function within a food chain or web?
How do changes in one part of a food chain or web affect the rest of the ecosystem?
How does precipitation contribute to the hydrologic cycle?
(Student response here)
Precipitation is a crucial part of the hydrologic cycle. It is the process by which water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into droplets and falls to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This water can then be taken up by plants, evaporate back into the atmosphere, or flow into rivers and oceans.
Which of the following is NOT a form of precipitation?
