Assessment for Primary Science - A Support Tool

Assessment materials to support ongoing, day to day planning, assessment and progression as well as summative judgements against year group expectations. This resource provides teachers with formats which can be used for both planning and to help track progress of children linked to the National Curriculum programme of study and year group expectations.

The resource includes:

• A set of Key Learning for each year group as a reference guide for long term planning.

• Working Scientifically Skills Ladders which provide support for teaching and a format for tracking progression of skills against year group expectations.

• An A4 grid for every unit of work in each year group which can be used for planning and assessment (linked to Knowledge and Conceptual Understanding).

• Four examples to select from or adapt with ideas on how to collate judgements of pupil progress over a unit.

• A summary of how to use the materials to suit your setting
