How to Sparkle at Assesssing Science contains 39 photocopiable worksheets (plus two for teachers to use). The worksheets are aimed at helping teachers to assess and gather evidence of children's learning in science. The format for recording suggested here is based on the premise that the work should be practical and related to the children's own ideas and understanding - enabling the teacher to gather evidence of the children's attainment. The book is designed to be compatible with National Curriculae throughout the United Kingdom. The worksheets are subdivided into 5 sections: teacher sheets; the skills of science; life processes and living things; materials and their properties; and physical processes.
