Science Assessment: KS1

Authors:  Peter Riley

Synopsis:  Offering assessment resources to assist and support teachers in observing, analyzing and documenting children's acheivement, this book's two main functions are diagnostic - assessment for the purpose of planning instruction for individual needs, and celebratory - documenting a pupil's progress and strengths. It has been designed to reflect the investigative and knowledge-based aspects of science, for example, offering activities to practise the interpretation skills which are so important to investigation, and which now feature in SATs. The book contains a progression of activities which systematically address all the Science PoS, and indicates the range of outcomes possible for the activities. The chapters include activities to reflect the unique content of the Scottish Guidelines and the Northern Ireland Curriculum, such as the emphasis on environmental science, but are organized overall on the basis of the National Curriculum into: experimental and investigative science; life and living processes; materials and their properties; and physical processes.
