AS91190Investigate how organisms survive in an extreme environment

• A teaching unit that leads up to it

  Weeks of lessons that build the knowledge and skills learners need before the assessment, with learning intentions and success criteria.

• A first draft of an assessment task

  Ask Pip to draft a task in your school's context, then check it against NZQA's assessment resources and your moderation process.

• Checkpoints along the way

  Short formative checks in the unit, so you know who needs more help before the assessment window.

• Differentiated worksheets

  One worksheet at three levels, so every learner can practise the same skill at the right challenge.
