Unit Assessment

There will be NABs at the end of
each unit which you must pass

If you fail once you are allowed
a second chance – one re-sit
only unless there are special
circumstances

Outcome 1 Experimental write
up
New - Investigation

You will be learning the skills of
Planning
 Researching
 Writing a report in the accepted
formats
 Referencing
 Evaluating procedures and results

End of Year Exam (100 marks)





The question paper will have 100 marks
The question paper will have two Sections. Section
1 (Objective Test) will have 20 marks.
Section 2 will contain restricted and extended
response questions and will have 80 marks.
Marks will be distributed approximately
proportionately across the Units. The majority of the
marks will be awarded for applying knowledge and
understanding. The other marks will be awarded for
applying scientific inquiry, scientific analytical
thinking and problem solving skills.
A data booklet containing relevant data and
formulae will be provided.
Assignment (20 marks)





This assignment has two
stages: ♦ a research stage ♦ a
communication stage
In the Natures chemistry unit
you will bring all these skills
together and investigate one of
the following
Antioxidants
Vitamin C
Wine
Time keeping and notetaking

To save time, you have printed
notes. This gives more time in
lessons for practical and
practice of answering questions.

In study time you are expected
to make revision notes of your
own and NOT JUST DO
HOMEWORK!!!!!

Use the website to write up
notes for class whitburnscience
Organising revision notes


Annotate the learning outcomes e.g.
write an explanation in your own words
for each one
Make a mind map
Make summary notes
Textbook will be provided but must be
handed back at the end of the course in
the same condition
You must continuously review your
notes – End the end of a subtopic a
subtopic tests will be administered to
track progress
