1. Welcome back! Sarah Turner Saturday 29 th November 2014

2.  To know and apply the new Scientific Attitudes section of the new Science National Curriculum for September 2015;  To gain knowledge and experience of ISA marking;  To be able to know more about BTEC marking and experience a sample of marking.

3.  On the body diagram in front of you, think and then draw on the body, all of your ideas about a Science Newly Qualified Teacher.

4. Scientific attitudes  pay attention to objectivity and concern for accuracy, precision, repeatability and reproducibility  understand that scientific methods and theories develop as earlier explanations are modified to take account of new evidence and ideas, together with the importance of publishing results and peer review  evaluate risks.

5.  Using the resources provided, design your own newspaper headline sharing the ‘new news’ about new evidence about life on another planet. http://www.space.com/search-for-life/ http://www.space.com/search-for-life/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/81740 40/Life-as-we-dont-know-it-discovery-could- prove-existence-of-aliens.html  What key content would you include to share this new evidence?  Who might peer review your article to support/refuse the findings?

6.  Read the evidence presented to you and then evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of recycling.  http://www.conserve-energy- future.com/advantages-and-disadvantages- of-recycling.php http://www.conserve-energy- future.com/advantages-and-disadvantages- of-recycling.php  You MUST consider the risks involved to all and present a final conclusion from the evidence.

7.  Think about the interaction between the skeleton and muscles and how to measure the force exerted by different muscles.  How can you relate the terms accuracy, precision, reproducibility and repeatability for this work?

8. 1) Development of DNA model 2) Development of the Periodic Table 3) Our Solar System  From the methods and theories presented on one of the above developments, how has the thinking and scientific ideas changed over time as new evidence has been found?

9.  Have you experienced setting or marking an ISA yet?  Have you got any concerns about doing this?  What departmental support is on offer?  What are your organisational/management strategies to do this?
