Assessment opportunities. |
Teach pupils how to:
- use
suitable software and monitoring equipment to monitor
and capture readings
- plot
and interpret graphs from the data collected
- save,
retrieve and edit work
Provide
monitoring and recording opportunities for pupils such as:
- monitoring
the temperature of cooling liquids using temperature probes
- eg. when comparing different insulators
- monitoring
noise levels at different locations using a sound sensor
- monitoring
pulse rates of pupils before and after physical exercise
- using
suitable software to capture readings and plot graphs
- interpreting
different graphical representations of the data
- saving,
retrieving and editing work
|
| Assessment
Issues |
Assessment
of pupils' achievements.
Date their experiences and competencies. |
Can
pupils:
- use
suitable software and monitoring equipment to monitor
and capture readings?
- plot
graphs from the data collected?
- interpret
the graphical representations of the data and draw conclusions?
- save,
retrieve and edit work?
|
| Recording
Assessment |
Recording
pupils' experiences and knowledge of skills to inform future
planning. |
Pupils
can:
- use
suitable software and monitoring equipment to monitor
and capture readings
- plot
graphs from the data collected
- interpret
the graphical representations of the data and draw conclusions
- save,
retrieve and edit work

| Evaluation |
Judgement
of timing and use of application:
Could the task have been carried out in a more conventional
or effective way?
Was continuity and progression achieved?
Will pupils need further consolidation, reinforcement or extension
work?
Did pupils acquire expected skills in both the subject areas
supported and ICT? |
Did
the Monitoring activity support the topic?
Was the software and monitoring equipment adequately set up?
Did the activity enable pupils to keep on task?
Were suitable recordings taken and interpreted effectively?
Were pupils able to save, retrieve and edit work?
Did the pupils acquire expected skills in the subjects supported
and ICT?
Was there continuity and progression?
How suitable were the pupil groupings?
Is there need for reinforcement/consolidation or extension?
Were teaching and learning objectives met?
What, if anything, would you change when developing a Monitoring
activity again? |
