Year 1 Science Curriculum coverage map and assessment

Includes a full breakdown of the curriculum as well as assessment materials. This interactive Power Point is a full year long term plan (coverage map) that is linked directly to the National Curriculum, with core knowledge for teachers to focus on. Each subject has a list of core knowledge (learning intentions) along with lesson ideas and how to work scientifically for all abilities.

The Power Point is designed with a contents page that is interactive. As you click on a different item, for example “Assessments” it will take you directly to the page that explains how to asses each strand of the Science curriculum. Every strand of the Science curriculum is covered with a list of equipment, key websites to use for CPD and lesson content and has specific examples of how to teach the lessons. There is a key vocabulary slide for each strand, helping to keep it at the center of the teaching.

The assessments are linked to the teaching within the coverage map ad appropriate to year 1. At the end of each strand children will complete a vocabulary assessment and a ‘What I know’ assessment. In the vocabulary section the children need to draw a line from the word to the correct image, and the ‘what I know’ section asks 2-3 questions based on their substantive and disciplinary knowledge of each topic.
