We're leading a session at #ASEConf2026 (10 Jan, 8.45pm) on using the new PLAN #workingscientifically resources to moderate teachers' summative assessment of disciplinary knowledge in NC in England, so data about WS skills can be shared across the school.

#PrimaryScience #EduSkyPrimary

Some minor amendments have been made to the Progression in #WorkingScientifically Skills for KS1 & 2 and the Assessing Working Scientifically documents so, if you downloaded the original versions of these resources, you may wish to replace them with the new versions

#PrimaryScience #EduSkyPrimary

Planning #WorkingScientifically documents no longer just indicate which skills each working scientifically activity can most likely be used to teach, but also identify the particular elements of the 'Key learning' for those skills - bit.ly/41JnhMm

#PrimaryScience #EduSkyPrimary

#WorkingScientifically Examples of Work provide annotated examples of work of children that are secure in each of the elements of the ‘Key learning’ for each of the skills for each phase in each year-group - bit.ly/3V8To4A

#PrimaryScience #EduSkyPrimary

New versions of the #WorkingScientifically Matrices identify the 'Key learning' for each skill for each phase (KS1, Lower KS2 & Upper KS2), as well as the 'Expected outcomes' a child would need to demonstrate to be secure in that skill for that phase - bit.ly/46tDfwS

#PrimaryScience #EduSkyPrimary

All the remaining year-groups (Years 2, 4 & 6) of the PLAN #PrimaryScience #WorkingScientifically resources have now been published, and all the original documents have been revised.

To support the teaching and assessment of these #WorkingScientifically skills, there will be a matrix for each skill in each year-group (Ys 2, 4 & 6 to follow) that provides: the key learning; the expected outcomes; and annotated examples of work. www.planassessment.com/working-scie...

PLAN has published new #PrimaryScience resources based around 8 PLAN #WorkingScientifically Skills that align with the skills most commonly used by schools with their pupils (see below). www.planassessment.com/working-scie...
