These assessments are part of the formal assessment for your NCEA. This means that if you are absent you need to apply for a formal special consideration from Mrs Pigou. You will require a Medical Certificate and will need to provide evidence of your achievement by attending the catch up opportunity. If this is not possible you will NOT be able to be given credit for the Achievement Standard. As for any national assessment you must attend the assessment events to gain credit. There is no second opportunity for Achievement Standards. Externally Assessed Achievement Standards The following external Achievement standards will be offered in 2014.

AS91390 Version 1

AS 3.4 Demonstrate understanding of thermochemical principles and the properties of particles and substances

5 credits

AS91391 Version 1

AS 3.5 Demonstrate understanding of the properties of organic compounds

5 credits

AS91392 Version 1

AS 3.6 Demonstrate understanding of equilibrium principles in aqueous systems

5 credits

At the end of each unit there will be a knowledge test with NCEA style questions. These will provide practice assessment and be a guide to your progress. In September there will be a formal school exam, which will cover the externally assessed achievement standards in a similar format to the External Exam. The results from these formal assessments will be used in if a derived grade is required for the external NCEA exams in November. However if they have not been sat, the student will not be able to gain a derived grade in Chemistry for NCEA. Return of Assessments As soon as it is practical, assessments will be returned to students and gone over in class. Students are encouraged to ask for clarification and follow the school guidelines if there any problems. A written application for reconsideration can be made within 1 week of the return of the assessment. Each student will have a file stored by the teacher in which all assessments will be filed. Under no circumstances will these be allowed to go home. They are available at school for students to use for revision. Assessment material may be required for moderation by NZQA. Homework To achieve in Chemistry it is necessary to work steadily all year. Homework will be set. When formal work is not set you are expected to complete the exercises from your text. With each unit there is a reference to the text book and appropriate chapters and exercises. You are expected to have completed each chapter and all exercises before the end of topic test. Exercises will be done in the back of your 1B5 homework exercise book and these will be checked to monitor your progress. Each exercise must be headed with the date, and exercise. Regular homework is expected and it is your responsibility to develop good habits.

STUDY TECHNIQUES THAT WORK

1. Self –Testing -Quizzing Yourself Gets High marks Practice tests are done by students on their own outside of class. Methods might include using flash cards (physical or digital) to test recall or answering questions, for example assignments or end of chapter questions. Cornell system:- During in-class note taking make a column on one edge of your notes and write down key terms and questions which can be answer later.

2. Distributing Practice – For best results, spread your study over time. Distribute learning over time is more effective than cramming. Complete questions not in groups but interspersed. Plan ahead and overcome the common student tendency to procrastinate. Longer intervals are generally more effective. To remember something for one week, learning episodes should be 12 to 24 hours apart; to remember something for five years they should be spaced 6 to 12 months apart.

3. Elaborative Interrogation – Channel Your Inner Four Year Old. Learners produce explanations for facts by promoting students to answer “Why” questions.

4. Self-Explanation –How Do I know. Students generate explanations of what they learn, reviewing their mental processing with questions eg “What new information does the sentence provide you?” Similar to elaborative interrogation, self-explanation may help integrate new information with prior knowledge.

5. Interleaved Practice –Mixing Apples and Oranges Instead of finishing one topic or one type of questions before moving on, to the next, alternate the variety of types of information or problems.
