- Resources to support internally assessed Level 1 registered achievement standards for science.
- Resources for managing NCEA assessment and distance learning when this is required due to an emergency situation or isolation due to COVID-19.
Level 1 Science 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.

Resources for managing NCEA assessment and distance learning
- Guide to managing student assessment during COVID-19 (PDF) - NZQA support to manage students’ learning programmes to meet the assessment requirements if there are disruptions.
- Science - Internal Alternative Evidence Gathering Templates - NZQA templates to use to record student achievement and report results where remote assessment is the only practical option and the collection of direct assessment evidence from students has not been at all possible.
