Developing Progression in Primary Science

About. Resource Contents includes a sheet on Developing progression in science investigations and another on 'Indicators of level 1 and 2ness'

Pedagogical content. A first part on ‘developing progression in science investigations’ could be used to prompt discussion on how far we expect pupils to develop, and the sorts of inquiry^(ta) which encourage this. The second part, 'indicators of Level 1 and 2ness', provides a useful set of criteria for assessing national curriculum levels. These criteria prompt thinking about assessment^(ta) levels in curriculum development^(topic). A concrete outcome of the activity may be to keep such criteria in a mark book for day-to-day use.
