We have made changes that will engage students and give them skills that will support progression to further study in science and a range of other subjects. Our content and assessment approach to primary science has been developed alongside primary English and, in particular, primary mathematics, to ensure a consistent approach across the whole Pearson Edexcel iPrimary programme .  \nThe content and assessment approach for primary science has been designed to meet students’ needs in the following ways:  \n● content is interesting and engaging but is also designed to ensure good preparation for further study at Pearson Edexcel International Award in Lower Secondary Science  \n● opportunities are provided to‘localise’ the content to make it more relevant for students  \n● achievement tests are clear and straightforward – our achievement tests are clear and accessible for students of all ability ranges and for all learning styles; our mark schemes are straightforward, so that the assessment requirements are clear  \n● students’ skills are broadly developed – the skills developed will be assessed through questions in written examinations ; applying understanding of scientific concepts and principles to a range of situations improves their analytical and logic skills.  \nProgression to iLowerSecondary and to International GCSE  \nThe Pearson Edexcel iPrimary programme provides the ideal preparation for progression to the Pearson Edexcel iLowerSecondary programme, as well as laying the foundations for success at International GCSE le","cbCaifxtPqBT6P03","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifxtPqBT6P03","pdf",429255,"English","# Contents\n## 1 Introduction\n## 2 Subject content and assessment information\n## 3 Administration and general information\n## Appendix 1: Command word taxonomy\n## Appendix 2: Units\n## Appendix 3: Calculators","[{\"question\":\"What do the Issue 2 changes in this iPrimary Science specification include?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 2 changes include adding the second assessment session of October.\"},{\"question\":\"When is first teaching and the first examination scheduled for this qualification?\",\"answer\":\"First teaching begins in September 2018, and the first examination takes place in June 2019.\"},{\"question\":\"What areas does the specification cover besides subject content and assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It includes supporting guidance for planning and implementing the qualification, administration and general information, and appendices such as command word taxonomy, units and calculators.\"}]","iPrimary Science Specification - Issue 2 - Pearson Edexcel International Award in Primary Science (JCS11) changes | PDF",1792467050,101]
