We have included all the parts of what good science is at GCSE level: whether it be investigating, observing, experimenting or testing out ideas and thinking about them. The way scientific ideas flow through the specification will support you in building a deep understanding of science with your students. We know this will involve talking about, reading and writing about science plus the actual doing, as well as representing science in its many forms both mathematically and visually through models.  \nThis specification encourages the development of knowledge and understanding in science through opportunities for working scientifically. Working scientifically is the sum of all the activities that scientists do. We feel it is so important that we have woven it throughout our specification and written papers.  \nOur schemes of work will take this further for you and signpost a range of ways to navigate through this qualification so your students are engaged and enthused. These free resources support the use of mathematics as a tool for thinking through the use of mathematical language in explanations, applications and evaluations.  \nThe tables below show examples of the ways working scientifically could be assessed.  \n1 Development of scientific thinking  \n\n| Students should be able to: | Examples of what students could be asked todo in an exam |\n| --- | --- |\n| WS 1.1\u003Cbr>Understand how scientific methods and theories develop over time. | Give examples to show how scientific methods and theories have changed over time.\u003Cbr>Explain, with an example, why new data from experiments or observations led to changes in models or theories.\u003Cbr>Decide whether or not given data supports a particular theory. |\n| WS 1.2\u003Cbr>Use a variety of models such as representational, spatial, descriptive, computational and mathematical to solve problems, make predictions and to develop scientific explanationsand understanding of familiar and unfamiliar facts. | Recognise/draw/interpret diagrams.\u003Cbr>Translate from data to a representation with a model.\u003Cbr>Use models in explanations, or match features of a model to the data from experiments or observations that the model describes or explains.\u003Cbr>Make predictions or calculate quantities based on the model or show its limitations.\u003Cbr>Give examples of ways in which a model can be tested by observation or experiment. |\n\n\n| Students should be able to: | Examples of what students could be asked todo in an exam |\n| --- | --- |\n| WS 1.3\u003Cbr>Appreciate the power and limitations of science and consider any ethical issues which may arise. | Explain why data is needed to answer scientific questions, and why it may be uncertain, incomplete or not available.\u003Cbr>Outline a simple ethical argument about the rights and wrongs of a new technology. |\n| WS 1.4\u003Cbr>Explain everyday and technological applications of science; evaluate associated personal, social, economic and environmental implications; and make decisions based on the evaluation of evidence and arguments. | Describe and explain specified examples of the technological applications of science.\u003Cbr>Describe and evaluate, with the help of data, methods that can be used to tackle problems caused by human impacts on the environment. |\n| WS 1.5\u003Cbr>Evaluate risks both in practical science and the wider societal context, including perception of risk in relation to data and consequences. | Give examples to show that there are hazards associated with science-based technologies which have to be considered alongside the benefits.\u003Cbr>Suggest reasons why the perception of risk is often very different from the measured risk (eg voluntary vs imposed risks, familiar vs unfamiliar risks, visible vs invisible hazards) . |\n| WS 1.6\u003Cbr>Recognise the importance of peer review of results and of co","cbCaimqCZk63xX3V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimqCZk63xX3V","pdf",256986,"English","# 3 Working scientifically\n## 1 Development of scientific thinking\n## 2 Experimental skills and strategies","[{\"question\":\"What does “working scientifically” mean at GCSE level in this booklet?\",\"answer\":\"It is the combined set of activities scientists do, embedded throughout the GCSE science specification, including investigating, observing, experimenting, testing ideas, and communicating results.\"},{\"question\":\"How can students develop scientific thinking in exams according to the examples?\",\"answer\":\"They can be asked to explain how methods and theories change over time, decide whether data supports a theory, and translate data into model-based representations to make predictions and test limitations.\"},{\"question\":\"What experimental skills and strategies are emphasized?\",\"answer\":\"Students should learn to develop hypotheses, plan experiments by identifying independent, dependent, and control variables, select appropriate techniques and instruments, and carry out experiments with accuracy, correct manipulation, and health and safety considerations.\"}]","Working Scientifically Physics Equations - DfE Maths Skills - BOOKLET 1 | PDF",1792468409,25]
