Science is often on the back foot in terms of the availability and development of technology and assessments, the forgotten child behind English and Maths. The ever-changing world in which our learners will be entering is one where employers are now more interested in skills over experience. The analytical, logical and critical thinking skills required are all interwoven within the science curriculum – how can assessments provide actionable insights into knowledge, skills and ability, not only for academic success but also as a lifelong critical thinking scientist?
