Developing Progression in Primary Science/teaching approach

The resource is in two parts. The sheets on ‘developing progression in science investigations’ could be used to prompt discussion regarding how far we expect pupils to develop, and the sorts of activity and inquiry⁽ⁱ⁾ which might encourage this. The other sheet – indicators of Level 1 and 2ness – provides a useful set of assessment criteria for the national curriculum levels. These could provide prompts to think about assessment⁽ⁱ⁾ of levels in the context of curriculum development⁽ⁱ⁾, and as a useful concrete outcome to stick in the front of a markbook for day to day use.
