MCEETYA Primary Science Assessment Project 2003

Science Literacy School Release Materials

The information and assessment materials in this document have been designed to assist teachers to gauge their own students’ proficiency in scientific literacy. By replicating components of the National Year 6 Science Assessment in the classroom, teachers will be able to compare the results of the classes and individual students with the Year 6 national proficiency levels and standards in scientific literacy.

It is anticipated that teachers will be able to reflect on this information to enhance teaching and monitoring programs in our schools.

The School Release Materials are available for download below as one complete document or broken down into parts.
