Assessment Criteria and 'et&od of "valuation How will you identify what they have learnt and how will you record or note this
Standards Assessment Criteria *+bilit! to: ,- "vidence How will you identify what they have learnt and how will you record or note this
Level 6 Achievement standard:
Science
()ey construct electrical circuits and distinguis)
*et%een open and closed circuits'
.iagrams are closed circuits/ obser#ations of students using the materials and testing0
Level 6 Achievement Standard:
Science
()ey mae and record accurate o*servations as
ta*les, diagrams or descriptions'
.iagrams of their circuit boards in their workbooks with labels and list of materials used0
Students (ac)ground #no%ledge What is your starting point what do the students already know, what have they done efore, how does this connect to or uild on their e!isting knowledge"
Level 4 science
*esources and 'aterials What materials and resources will you need to have prepared"
Circuit boards, batteries, wires, lights, switches, workbooks, pencils, video (IWB), powerpoint.
Student Teac&er Focus What will you concentrate on yourself eg# classroom management, lesson flow, voice, positioning, engagement etc"
I will focus on lesson flow and ! tiing.
