The document discusses plans to embed assessment skills and context into science classes from years 1-3 (L1-L3) at Takapuna Grammar School. It describes experiments done in the first few days of each year to introduce skills like using equipment, analyzing and interpreting data. It then outlines plans to assess students on skills and understanding through tasks linked to NZIP achievement objectives P1.1, P2.1 and P3.1. These assessments will be run continuously to reduce student stress and include context from class topics where possible. The teacher hopes the new NZIP framework in 2012 will provide clearer exemplars and guidance.
