The following files cover a number of open ended tasks for KS3 Science and also offer alternative methods of assessment. All files are in either Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat PDF format and can be downloaded by right clicking, then selecting "save target as" from the menu. Alternative assessments are designed to engage the students in discussing their ideas with each other or a teacher in order to clarify and challenge their thinking. These assessments can be used in class by groups of students, or by individuals, or could be used as homework tasks, thereby enabling the teacher to provide formative feedback against given criteria The Essex Science Team would wish to thank the following schools for their work on alternative assessments :St Peter’s College; Sir Charles Lucas School; The Stanway School; Clacton County High School; The Gilberd School; Alec Hunter School; Mountfitchett High School; Thomas Lord Audley School and Language College; The Ramsey School The Harwich School, Mark Hall School,The Plume School, Manningtree High and Tabor High School.
