In Unit 1 (and similarly Unit 2) students need to use key knowledge from both areas of study to address the outcome. Does this mean they can’t do any assessment tasks until the end of the unit?
• Response: No. It provides teachers with the flexibility to link and develop concepts; for example, chemical reactivity (The Periodic Table) could be followed by metallic bonding (Materials) so that three practical activities related to properties of metals could be completed as the summary report with annotations assessment task. Also no single assessment task is expected to cover all key knowledge and skills and address the outcome.
