ICT STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

Pupils should be given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning. Here are the statutory requirements to use ICT in the science programme of study:

Key stage 1

Sc1 Scientific enquiry
Investigative skills
2g: communicate what happened in a variety of ways, including using ICT (for example, in speech and writing, by drawings, tables, block graphs and pictograms)

Breadth of study
1c: Pupils should be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding through using a range of sources of information and data, including ICT-based sources

Key stage 2

Sc1 Scientific enquiry
Investigative skills
2f: make systematic observations and measurements, including the use of ICT for data-logging

2h: use a wide range of methods, including diagrams, drawings, tables, bar charts, line graphs and ICT, to communicate data in an appropriate and systematic manner

Breadth of study
1c: Pupils should be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding through using a range of sources of information and data, including ICT-based sources

Key stage 3

Sc1 Scientific enquiry
Investigative skills
2g: make observations and measurements, including the use of ICT for datalogging (for example, variables changing over time) to an appropriate degree of precision

2i: use a wide range of methods, including diagrams, tables, charts, graphs and ICT, to represent and communicate qualitative and quantitative data

Breadth of study
1d: Pupils should be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding through using a range of sources of information and data, including ICT-based sources

Key stage 4 (Single science)

Sc1 Scientific enquiry
Investigative skills
2g: make observations and measurements, including the use of ICT for datalogging (for example, to monitor several variables at the same time) to a degree of precision appropriate to the context

2j: represent and communicate quantitative and qualitative data using diagrams, tables, charts, graphs and ICT

Breadth of study
1d: Pupils should be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding through using a range of sources of information, including ICT-based sources

Key stage 4 (double science)

Sc1 Scientific enquiry
Investigative skills
2g: make observations and measurements, including the use of ICT for datalogging (for example, to monitor several variables at the same time) to a degree of precision appropriate to the context

2j: represent and communicate quantitative and qualitative data using diagrams, tables, charts, graphs and ICT

Breadth of study
1d: Pupils should be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding through using a range of sources of information and data, including ICT-based sources
