I’ve created this disciplinary knowledge tracker in response to recent training sessions and Ofsted inspection to track the progress of students’ disciplinary knowledge in science. Disciplinary knowledge is the umbrella term for practical skills, procedural knowledge, and maths skills. It’s designed to allow either students or teachers to record a baseline for each section (which can be completed in a different coloured pen) then students can add their acquired skills/knowledge as they learn them in lessons. The tracker can be using as formative assessment, there’s also a page on the back of the document for a summative reflection. The tracker can be used in a variety of ways - I will be providing one for each student every half-term but could be used more or less frequently. All statements are based on the “Working Scientifically” section of the key stage 4 national curriculum. Thanks for viewing, please leave a review :-)

GCSE Science command words for the new 9-1 specification. Based on Edexcel and AQA exam boards but will fit other boards as well as other subjects. The command words are included with the definitions and a worked example for each. I’ve designed it as a classroom display but it would also work well as a handout for pupil folders. Words included: Label Give/Name/State Draw Write Plot Sketch Complete Estimate Identify Calculate Show Determine Deduce Give a reason Describe Explain Comment on Compare and Contrast Predict Define Devise or design Suggest Justify

Eduqas (WJEC)A Level Biology summary material for Core Concepts 1 - Biological Molecules. Also relevant for other exam boards for Biological Molecules topics. Includes a summary Powerpoint (or handout) and flashcards with question on one side and answer on the other. Content includes: Carbohydrates Water Lipids Proteins Food tests N.B. The flashcards have been formatted to print on both sides with the printing settings set to ‘flip edges on long edge’. This ensures that the correct answer is paired with the correct question.
