Assessing Science

Assessing Science at Key Stage 2 contains 44 photocopiable sheets for use with pupils, and almost the same number of pages of teachers' notes. The activities encourage pupils to think and to record their scientific knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways. They also enable you to gather evidence about pupils' development and assess what they know, understand and can do. The teachers' notes contain further assessment activities, with anticipated pupil responses. Activities include: showing what I understand about a process; being safe; planning and refining ideas; applying and understanding findings; investigating a variety of topics, such as teething trouble, heating and cooling,; frictional forces and how to control electrical devicesBurton, Neil is the author of 'Assessing Science', published 2004 under ISBN 9781897675359 and ISBN 1897675356.
