Senior Investigation Skills, Scientific Literacy & Assessment
Making informed predictions, evaluate conclusions, identify sources of uncertainty, provide possible alternative
explanations, describe ways to improve the quality of data, critically analyse the validity of information in secondary
sources, evaluate ways to solve problems, communicate scientific ideas and information for a particular purpose, use
evidence and appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations.
Assessment includes ongoing summative assessment tasks through homework / class activities
Assessment 1: Genetics (a timeline & directed discussion of topics)
Assessment 2: Natural Selection (a timeline, presentation & application of knowledge to directed discussion of topics)
Assessment 3: Summative exam
