Evidence Requirements Assessment Standard 1.1 National
Qualification Level 4 5 H AH A clear statement of the aim A
hypothesis A dependent and independent variable Variable(s) to be
kept constant minimum of one all Measurements/observations to be
made The equipment/materials A clear and detailed description of
how the experiment/practical investigation should be carried out,
including safety considerations where appropriate Evidence
Requirements: Assessment Standard 1.1
Slide 6
Evidence Requirements: Assessment Standard 1.3 Making and
recording observations/measurements correctly: at National 5,
Higher and Advanced Higher repeat measurements should be made and
recorded where appropriate and collated in a relevant format. need
to repeat measurements and calculate averages where its
appropriate. This is not a requiremen4dates need to repeat
measurement
Slide 7
Evidence Requirements: Assessment Standard 1.4 Presenting
results in an appropriate format: at National 5, Higher and
Advanced Higher these should also be processed (e.g. averages
calculated) before being presented in an appropriate format.
Slide 8
Evidence Requirements: Assessment Standard 1.5 Drawing valid
conclusions: at Advanced Higher these must be supported by
evidence.
Slide 9
Evidence Requirements: Assessment Standard 1.6 Evaluating
experimental procedures: National 4 provide one possible
improvement. National 5 provide one possible improvement and
justify their suggested improvement. Higher and Advanced Higher
provide two possible improvements and justify their suggested
improvements.
Slide 10
Outcome 1 Re-assessment For the purpose of re-assessment
candidates: only need to be re-assessed on the specific Assessment
Standard(s) that has not been met. should be given the opportunity
to re-draft their report. can achieve these via a number of
different pieces of evidence.
Slide 11
Outcome 1 Transfer of Evidence From National 3 to Higher an
Outcome 1 pass in one Unit can be used as evidence of an Outcome 1
pass for any other Unit at the same level. An Outcome 1 pass at
National 4 can be used as evidence of an Outcome 1 pass at National
3. An Outcome 1 pass at National 5 can be used as evidence of an
Outcome 1 pass at National 4.
