KS3 Science Map
|
Lesson time |
Pupils are taught 6 lessons of Science a fortnight during years 7-9. |
|
Homework |
Homework is set two or three times per fortnight, predominantly on Carousel website. Carousel is a flashcard platform that allows students to revise and be tested on their science knowledge. It is primarily focused on review and practice of the core knowledge. A lower score on the homework indicates that the pupil should seek further support on that learning. |
|
Assessment |
There is an end of unit test for each model and two cumulative tests throughout the years 7 and 8 based on everything they have covered in that year. |
