Heat Transfers Quality Mark Assessment (TASK ONLY)

This is the free version of an assessment for KS3 students who are studying heat transfers, conduction, convection, radiation, lab safety, insulators, heat safety and materials. This could also be used for lower ability KS4 or as a recap exercise at the start of the GCSE.

I have also produced a resource pack available to purchase from TES at
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/heat-transfers-quality-mark-assessment-full-resource-pack-11353202

The resource pack comes with several parts;
1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task.

2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books.

3. Word document printout writing frame to assist students who may benefit from additional help with this task.

4. Word document printout writing frame which is filled in with some appropriate answers, however there are a wide range of ways in which students could complete this task.

5. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students can self/peer assess the work, there is also a column so the teacher can tick off the achieved criteria.

6. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students.
A guide on how to use this resource can be freely accessed at

7. JPEG images showing a hand-drawn versions of the diagrams for this task some of these have been inserted into the PowerPoint, but may also be useful for students who aren't confident in laying out their work. The first two images are simply diagrams of the saucepan, the next four images are based on a flow diagram used to represent to heat transfers in the example (one of my students came up with this idea!)

This task is suitable for students at level 3-7, and is based on an old APP task.

When I have used this in lessons students have made some really nice posters, and great descriptions
