This template guides students through the stages of carrying out an investigation, specifically the Junior Cycle Science Extended Experimental Investigation (CBA 1). It is a useful scaffolding resource aimed to support student’s independent learning through scientific inquiry. It serves as evidence of learning for each student. The template can be used as both a formative and summative assessment as the teacher can track progress and use the completed portfolio for grading. The document is in word format to allow you to add your own school logo.

Set of 88 flashcards covering scientific methodology/general practical skills. Suitable for all exam boards. Covers topics such as: Different types of variable Accuracy / precision / repeatability etc Uncertainty Range / standard deviation Choice of statistical test Choice of graph Basic practical skills such as scientific drawing rules, eye piece graticule calibration etc There is some ambiguity when it comes to mark schemes on questions such as accuracy/precision - with different exam boards sometimes having slightly different answers. I have tried to include the most appropriate answer on the flashcards. This download is the same as the Module 1 OCR A-level Biology flashcards.

Presentation covering most of the main ideas behind planning and analysing practical science. Includes some activities to help students understand why we use control variables to ensure valid results. I'd suggest this is either broken up to cover multiple lessons, or just segments used as and when they are needed to suplemment the lesson.

In order to promote pedagogically informed use of technology, educators need to develop an active, inquisitive, design-oriented mindset. Design Patterns have been demonstrated as powerful mediators of theory-praxis conversations yet widespread adoption by the practitioner community remains a challenge. Over several years, the authors and their colleagues have facilitated many workshops in which participants shared experiences, captured these as design narratives, extracting design patterns, and applied them to novel teaching challenges represented as design scenarios.
