Refine Current Search

In this task students build the next two models of a spatial sequential pattern and then use their results to predict subsequent patterns and give general rules for these in words and in equations.

Task: Answer questions about making a bike go faster. Assessment focus: friction; gearing.

Students identify square and cubic numbers mentally in a timed test.

Students convert speeds of vintage cars into kilometres per hour, and calculate distances travelled at these speeds.

Students answer three questions about the Hubble Space Telescope.

Students construct a graph for each linear equation given.

Students compare a data table and a line graph and identify features that are missing or incorrect in the graph.

Assessment focus: ability to critically analyse and interpret a visual text, based on individual perception and the use of descriptors (visual/verbal/sound etc) to illustrate interpretation.

Students prepare a 2 to 3 minute speech, to inform, persuade, or entertain. Topics suitable for secondary students are provided. Assessment guides A, B, and C are suitable for this task.

Students show how to solve a series of algebraic expressions by substituting given numbers.

Students construct a box-and-whisker graph from data in a table about the results of two classes' geography tests.

Task: Complete a table to show how energy is transformed in eight objects and describe the energy transformations in two others. Assessment focus: energy transformation.

From a key of terms (heat, kinetic, light, potential and sound), students select the word which describes some common examples of energy change.

Students are asked to match six everyday objects to the main energy transformation that occurs in each of these objects.

Students are given an experimental setup of heating water with a burning peanut and are asked how they could change this in three ways to get a greater temperature increase. Students are also asked to give two important experimental conditions that should remain the same if the experiment was repeated.

Students estimate and explain how they estimated their answer for two number problems: one involving multiplication; and the other division.

For this task students select two kinds of activity from those labelled on a diagram of an erupting volcano. Students write a description and the problems or dangers associated with each activity.

Students use a flowchart to find solutions and generate rules from them.

Students interpret information from a flowchart to calculate the total costs of different sized groups staying in a motel for varying lengths. They also complete a linear algebraic equation to show the costs of one group's stay.

This grammar resource has a focus on verbs. Students identify verbs in sentences, and answer questions on the active or passive voice.

A report about a topic of local, national, or international interest is prepared. The assessment focus is on opinions and information from the media. ARB scoring guides A and B are suitable for this task.

Students answer two multiple choice questions about fair testing in the context of static electricity.

Students answer a multiple choice question about what happens when a magnetised object is cut in half, and then draw the lines of the magnetic field around two magnets.

This resource assess students' understanding of circuits when they explain what is wrong in five different circuit diagrams.
