Level 1 Biology assessment resources
These resources are guides to effective assessment and should not be used as actual assessment.
These are publicly available resources so you (education providers, teachers and schools) must modify them to ensure that student work is authentic.
You will need to set a different context or topic to be investigated, identify different texts to read or perform, or change figures, measurements or data sources to ensure that students can demonstrate what they know and can do.
Materials in the NZQA approved assessment resources section below belong to expired Level 1 achievement standards.
Assessment resources for the current Biology Level 1 achievement standards are available at Biology – NCEA.
