Best Evidence Science Teaching

Best Evidence Science Teaching (BEST) is a new collection of research-informed teaching and learning resources, focussed initially on science at ages 11-14.

BEST provides diagnostic questions, response activities, suggested teaching sequences, information on misconceptions and progression maps for key concepts in physics, chemistry and biology.

The resources have been developed from the best available research on:

• Sequencing and teaching of key concepts

• Effective formative assessment

• Purposeful practical work
