A collection of five, editable, topic cover pages for Year 3 and Year 4 pupils to stick in their exercise books or folders at the beginning of a topic. This resource is designed to aid both teachers and pupils in tracking and monitoring learning in science. Each cover sheet is available in PDF format as well as MS Word format to allow for editing so the resource can be personalised for your classroom and school. Each cover page includes: PLAN YOUR LEARNING - A simple table for learners to record what they already know about the topic and record questions they have to find out more. This encourages young learners to be reflective and provides an opportunity for them to propose questions that can lead to pupil led enquiry later on in the topic. TRACK YOUR LEARNING - This section includes two tables for children to self assess and monitor their own learning. The first table focuses on the key Subject Knowledge Targets that learners should have met by the end of the topic, to be working at age related expectations. The second table included Skills Targets that learners will get the opportunity to focus on and practice over the course of the topic. This will scaffold the development of pupils’ working scientifically skills and support teachers in making assessment in monitoring that learners are working at age related expectations when working scientifically. SCIENTIFIC VOCABULARY - The final section includes a collection of age appropriate scientific vocabulary that pupils are likely to use during the topic.

A full set of editable medium term plans for Year 3 Science. Each medium plan begins with the National Curriculum requirements to be clear on the intended science learning in Year 3. This is followed by a table of practical enquiries that will secure full coverage of the National Curriculum requirements with the following headings: Big Question & Learning Objective Type of enquiry: Observing over time, Fair Test, Comparative Test, Grouping & Classifying, Research and Pattern Seeking Skills Focus: to help secure progression in working scientifically for all learners Notes Resources This is followed by an additional list of enquiries that have been proposed by children in my classes over the years, illustrating the importance of child led enquiry. All have been great fun in the classroom and really effective a securing scientific knowledge and developing skills. There are many enquiries that will enable children to develop the intended scientific understanding, you don’t have to do the same thing every year. In addition to this, each medium term plan includes cross-curricular links, recommended books for the classroom (Fiction and non-fiction), links to useful free online resources, Health and Safety tips and assessment opportunities.

A free resource for Year 5 teachers to support the assessment of primary science. These Quick Quizzes can be used in the classroom or for homework tasks to provide an additional opportunity for children to demonstrate their understanding of the Year 5 science topics. There are five Quick Quizzes for Year 5 that link to the curriculum areas: Animals including humans Earth and space Forces Living things and their habitats Properties and changes of materials These resources were previously available on the Leamington Spa Ogden Partnership TES account and were developed by a partnership of ten schools to support their teachers in making assessment decisions with the introduction of the new curriculum. The questions are based on past science SATS questions. We hope that they may be of use to other teachers in their assessment planning, after much feedback we have now included an answer sheet for extra teacher guidance. Thanks to the Ogden Trust for their support in developing this resource to share.

A free resource for Year 2 teachers to support the assessment of primary science.
