Developing L3 Begin to distinguish between scientific ‘facts’, beliefs and opinions Developing L3 Give an explanation based on their everyday experiences, for their findings, including any patterns Developing L3 Give simple explanations for differences between and changes to organisms, objects, materials and physical phenomena Developing L4 Follow the planned method Developing L4 Make qualitative observations and use standard equipment to measure within a given range using S.I. units Developing L4 Make amendments necessary Developing L4 Organise and communicate their findings using relevant scientific language and display these in tables, bar charts and in simple line graphs when the axes and scales are given Developing L4 Identify trends and patterns Developing L4 Distinguish between ‘facts’, beliefs and opinions and begin to recognise bias Developing L4 Use some scientific knowledge and understanding to explain their findings ... and differences between, or changes to organisms, materials and physical phenomena Developing L4 Begin to draw conclusions from considered opinions and make informed decisions Developing L5 Select measuring instruments that allow them to make a series of accurate measurements Developing L5 Regularly progress and revise the method where necessary Developing L5 Organise and communicate their findings integrating different forms in various presentations and record them systematically, using S.I. units where appropriate Developing L5 Select the most appropriate type of graph or chart to display data Developing L5 Use line graphs to describe relationships between two continuous variables Developing L5 Identify bias and start to consider reliability Developing L5 Use scientific knowledge and understanding, including simple models, when explaining their finding ... and differences between, or changes to organisms, materials and physical phenomena Developing L5 Draw conclusions that are consistent with the findings and consider others’ views to inform opinions and decisions Developing L6 Make precise observations and accurate measurements using equipment with fine divisions Developing L6 Regularly check progress, making ongoing revisions where necessary and begin to justify any amendments or improvements made Developing L6 Organise and communicate their findings in a variety of ways fit for purpose and audience Developing L6 Use appropriate axes and scales for graphs to show data effectively Developing L6 Begin to use some quantitative definitions
Developing L6 Assess bias, consider reliability Developing L6 Offer some explanations for any anomalies Developing L6 Use abstract scientific knowledge and understanding, including models, when explaining their findings ... and differences between, or changes to organisms, materials and physical phenomena Developing L6 Recognise that a number of factors and/or processes may have to be considered when explaining changes Developing L6 Consider a wider range of perspectives to inform opinions and decisions Developing L7 Systematically observe and measure Developing L7 Justify any amendments made to the method/strategy Developing L7 Draw lines of best fit on line graphs Developing L7 Use some quantitative definitions and perform calculations using the correct units Developing L7 to evaluate their findings in order to gauge bias, reliability and validity Developing L7 Explain to what extent their findings are consistent with scientific knowledge and understanding, using abstract ideas at times Developing L7 In explanations they abstract ideas and make links between processes and systems Developing L7 Begin to use their explanations to make predictions Developing L7 Describe how they might collect more information in order to check the validity of their conclusions Reflecting L3 Link outcomes to success criteria and identify what worked and what didn’t Reflecting L3 Begin to think about how the method could be improved Reflecting L3 Link the learning, with support, to familiar situations Reflecting L4 Decide whether method was successful by referring to their success criteria Reflecting L4 Say how they improve their method Reflecting L4 Describe how they have learned and identify the ways that worked the best Reflecting L4 Link the learning to similar situations. Reflecting L5 Begin to evaluate how far success criteria fully reflect successful outcomes Reflecting L5 Identify the learning/thinking strategy they have used Reflecting L5 Link the learning to dissimilar but familiar situations
Reflecting L6 Evaluate how far success criteria fully reflect successful outcomes Reflecting L6 Identify the learning/thinking strategy being used Reflecting L6 Link the learning to unfamiliar situations Reflecting L7 Refine success criteria in the light of experience for future occasions Reflecting L7 Review their strategies in light of results obtained or the information gathered Reflecting L7 Link the learning to more abstract situations
