BADGER APP in Science
Science APP Y7, 8 and 9
The National Strategies and QCA have, in partnership, published the Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) statements for KS3 Science.
Andrew Grevatt and Dr Mark Evans are producing a combined Badger resource for APP, using The Level-Assessed Approach, and including material for your VLE.
The resources include a range of milestone activities for each Assessment Focus. The activities are designed to integrate seamlessly with schemes of work and the publication includes detailed guidance on an easy-to-follow system and resources on how to introduce and develop APP within a science department.
