Tracking 1 S1 Science

Level 3 Progress 4

I can critically evaluate evidence, including the strengths and limitations of investigations, and weigh up different viewpoints about energy sources.

I can justify informed choices by balancing scientific evidence with environmental, social and economic impacts.

 

Level 3 Progress 3

I can analyse practical results, explain conclusions and compare the benefits, risks and environmental impacts of energy sources.

I can use evidence and consider several factors to justify which energy source suits a particular situation.

 

Level 3 Progress 2

I can compare energy sources, explain how renewable energy is harnessed and describe benefits, problems and risks, including those of plant-based sources.

I can carry out practical investigations, record measurements and draw simple conclusions.

 

Level 3 Progress 1

I can identify renewable and non-renewable energy sources and describe simple benefits, problems and everyday uses.

I can make observations during practical activities and use appropriate scientific vocabulary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tracking 1 S1 Science

 

Level 4 Progress 4

I can independently produce a coherent report, justify how variables are controlled and critically assess the quality of measurements and evidence.

I can explain how strongly the results support their prediction and conclusion, recognise limitations and justify improvements to accuracy and reliability.

 

Level 4 Progress 3

I can plan a fair investigation, explain their prediction using scientific knowledge and present results clearly with suitable units and graph scales.

I can use evidence to explain the energy changes, draw a justified conclusion and identify errors with practical improvements.

 

Level 4 Progress 2

I can state an aim and prediction, identify the variables and record results accurately in a table and labelled graph.

I can describe the pattern, link their conclusion to the aim and suggest a relevant improvement.

 

Level 4 Progress 1

I can follow a provided method and, with support, identify what is changed, measured and kept the same.

I can record results, complete a simple graph and state what happened, suggesting a basic improvement.
