Science Reports

Each term your current performance grade is based on a range of skill areas. These include:

  • Understanding and application of knowledge; this is assessed through your written and oral answers to questions during the course and in end of unit tests and exams.
  • Investigative skills; these are assessed either through your written report for a practical or through your performance on ISA questions.
  • Thinking skills; this assessment can be from your oral explanations given in response to questions during a lesson, the quality of your written answers to longer questions in tests or homework tasks or your ability to apply what you know to new situations.

Public Examination

ISA (Investigative Skills Assessment). At GCSE this replaces the coursework. For this examination you will need have a completed table of results and appropriate graph or chart displaying these results. Take these, along with a calculator to the test.
