As a Primary Science Coordinator/ Leader, I made 3 questionnaires to complete as part of my monitoring of science across the school. A questionnaire for pupils, and choice of 2 for staff (one focused more on CPD)

A fully resourced KS2 science lesson about the human eye and how we see. The lesson contains a teaching PowerPoint, full planning and differentiated tasks (challenge and extra support). The resource explores how we see things, then focuses on the different parts of the eye and their functions. The independent tasks for the children also link to these themes. Please note: some video links are included in the sessions, which should always be assessed for suitability prior to use! Includes: *Teacher PowerPoint presentation *2 differentiated eye labelling task sheets (lower and middle/higher ability) *3 differentiated eye part functions task sheets (lower, middle & higher ability) *Full planning, linked to science curriculum Please see the Goldtopfox shop for more great teaching resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/goldtopfox

This document shows the progression of skills, vocab and links to prior learning throughout each year.

Assessment grids for each unit. Linked to 5 types of enquiry. Completely editable.

If your fed up with hunting for decent science assessments for Primary children, or paying well over the odds for them, then look no further. This resource includes twenty-eight different assessments as well as a detailed mark scheme, designed to make marking efficient. Every single Primary science objective (NC 2014) is covered in each of the child friendly tests. Not enough? Well, also included is an excel spreadsheet which has been designed to make tracking progress a breeze. Simply fill in the marks for each child and the spreadsheet will do the rest of the work for you. It will give you a ‘grade’ for each individual objective, a total grade for each science topic and an overall science grade. This method of assessment quickly allows you not just to see individual pupils’ weaknesses, but also weaknesses within the class as a whole and provides the teacher with an excellent evidence base. In this era of tracking without levels, this is an essential resource for all Primary teachers. Please, leave feedback for this amazing resource! ALSO ADDED: Individual assessments for ALL science objectives for ALL year groups are available for purchase as are individual year group, KS1, KS2 or complete Primary packs.

And if you like these Science Assessments, you will also like my maths assessments – check them out in my shop!

Primary Science Assessment Tracker: This is a tool to help teachers track attainment and progression of students from Year 1 to Year 6. The spreadsheets contain all the KNOWLEDGE and WORKING SCIENTIFICALLY learning objectives from the 2014 National Curriculumn, separated into two tabs for each year group. The spreadsheet uses a binary code (1 or 0) to clearly highlight when an objective has been met (or not) by a student. There is also a calculated percentage so teachers can gain a good idea of how much of the curriculum their pupils are achieving (good for hightlighting high achievers as well as low attainers).

This lesson is appropriate for ages 8-11 years old. It can support children to learn about mixtures and solutions with included videos and tasks. This is a powerpoint which offers a wizard/ magic theme to keep young children engaged. It has been used to teach Year 5 successfully. I recommend preparing resources from your kitchen, a spoon to mix and a bowl of water for the main activity. Can easily be completed from home.

Curriculum Coverage Document specifies subjects to be covered each term for a broad primary science curriculum. Document ensures curriculum progression for topics and suggests cross curricular links with maths. Science subject leader document for Primary 5-11

Primary Science Scheme of Work put together by a Science Lead. Scheme of work includes; Lesson objectives/questions Key questions Key Vocabulary National Curriculum reference This scheme of work has been implemented since September 2019 and has had a very positive impact. Also includes yearly overview and intent statement.
