In unit 1 each primary research method is directly incorporated into the families and education sections with a dedicated lesson on the method which is followed up a hypothesis for pupils to investigate using the specified method.
Generic mark schemes that are 'user friendly' for both teachers and pupils with the purpose of improving the efficiency of the marking process. This is achieved by:

*Specific targets for improvement and reflection
*Reflect on identified targets
Teachers are provided with the opportunity to recognise the quality of reflection through identifying the appropriate descriptor and can provide further guidance by identifying points from a pre-populated menu.
Assessment and homework progress can also be easily recorded and monitored on a pupil
tracking document (A4 sized) that can fit neatly inside work books or assessment folders.
