    Common Assessment Task

    MHJC Learning Framework Step:

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING… identify different types of fossils to compare and contrast the way they are formed.
    • We are FOCUSING… develop an understanding of geological timescale to discuss how different organisms lived on the Earth in different periods of time.
    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... so that we can… prepare for our common assessment tasks and apply the scientific knowledge and skills we have learned this year.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    • identify the 4 types of fossils, and describe how they are formed
    • describe the different periods of Earth's age in terms of its geological timescale
    • read measure scales on various scientific apparatus
    • plot a graph of a given set of data gathered from an experiment, and interpret the graph meaningfully
    • review and consolidate their knowledge of a range of science lab apparatus and the safety rules using them as well as in the science lab
    • review and consolidate their knowledge of chemistry experiments of separating water from mineral-dissolved liquids such as distillation


    Activities & Learning Tasks:

    1. Viewing of video resources, note-taking main points.
    2. Home revision of resources on Google Classroom
    3. Class discussion of key learning points to deepen and consolidate understanding; questions and answers based on students' needs.
