Science Simulations. Secondary science curriculum 2014: What's changing - Science Week and Nationa... The new national curriculum will begin to be implemented in September 2014. Ahead of the change, ASE’s Science Leaders’ Hub editor Helen Harden has put together this short guide to the key changes in the curriculum and the consequent implications of these changes for science leaders, along with some resources to help lead the transition. The Key Stage 3 Programme Of Study has already been confirmed, while the Programme of Study for Key Stage 4 is still under consultation. New content includes: skeletal and muscular systemsconcept of a pure substanceproperties of ceramics, polymers and compositesefficacy of recyclinguse of ultra-sound for cleaning and physiotherapy New additions to the curriculum will require preparation of new teaching materials, which in turn may require resourcing with samples or visual aids.
Content moved down from KS4 includes: There are raised expectations of chemical literacy and maths: Changes to investigative work includes: Useful Resources ASE’s Science Leaders’ Hub. Scientists have lost battle to keep A-level exams practical. Score_benchmark_secondary. Dangers in A-level sciences grading reform highlighted. A partnership of leading science organisations, including ASE, has highlighted concerns about Ofqual's announcement today to separate practical science from A-level grades. ASE Chief Executive, Annette Smith, comments, "The announcement from Ofqual this morning and the SCORE response serve to indicate the importance of teachers’ engagement with subject associations in designing the courses which will lead to A level qualifications. In order for practical science to be taught and learned well, teachers must be well supported and school laboratory technicians should also be recognised and supported for the skills that they bring to the situation.
ASE is committed to working with teachers, teacher educators and technicians, with the awarding bodies and with Ofqual in order to ensure that high quality practical science in schools continues.

Blooms taxonomy. Diagnostic questions. Many of the questions and tasks we are developing in the York Science project can be described as ‘diagnostic’. That is, not only do they tell you which students have some understanding of the idea you are interested in, they also give you some information about the misconceptions of those who do not use the accepted scientific explanation. For instance take a look at this question from the Light and colour topic. The correct answer is D, but A, B, and C are all ideas held by many students (and adults). Many children may have not experienced complete darkness and will know that after the light is switched off in the bedroom at night their eyes adjust to the dark and they can see dimly.They may have seen a cat at night and seen its eyes reflecting back the light from a torch or car headlights.
Rather than ask students simply to select one of these as the correct answer you can gain a lot more information by asking them how they sure they are. Free Resources - Free teaching resources & lesson plans for teachers. Additional needs.
