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 lower secondary science has been developed alongside lower secondary English and, in particular, lower secondary mathematics, to ensure a consistent approach across the whole Pearson Edexcel iLowerSecondary programme.  \nThe content and assessment approach for lower secondary 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 GCSE in 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 International GCSE  \nThe Pearson Edexcel iLowerSecondary programme provides the ideal preparation for progression to International GCSE qualifications.  \nT","cbCaikGT7BaNnOJK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikGT7BaNnOJK","pdf",519046,"English","# 1 Introduction\n## Why choose the Pearson Edexcel International Award in Lower Secondary Science?\n## Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification\n# 2 Subject content and assessment information\n## Content\n## Assessment Objectives\n# 3 Administration and general information\n## Entries\n## Access arrangements, reasonable adjustments, special consideration and malpractice\n## Awarding and reporting\n## Student recruitment and progression\n# Appendix\n## Mathematical skills\n## Command word taxonomy\n## Units\n## Calculators","[{\"question\":\"What is the Pearson Edexcel International Award in Lower Secondary Science (LSC11) specification, Issue 2 for?\",\"answer\":\"It sets out the qualification specification, including the introduction, subject content and assessment approach, and the administration and general information for LSC11, Issue 2.\"},{\"question\":\"When are the first teaching and first examinations for the qualification?\",\"answer\":\"First teaching starts in September 2018, and the first examination is in June 2019.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes are included in Issue 2 compared with the previous issue?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 2 adds the second assessment session of October.\"}]","Pearson Edexcel International Award in Lower Secondary Science (LSC11) - Issue 2 - changes | PDF",1792467047,151]
