Pupils needing extra support

Could demonstrate their understanding by drawing a picture of the woodlice in the Petri dish, labelling the damp and dry sides; should verbally explain what happened in the experiment and use their drawing to answer the question, ‘Do woodlice prefer damp or dry conditions?’

Pupils working at greater depth

Should give reasoning for their predictions, e.g. ‘I think the woodlice will prefer the damp section because I have seen lots of woodlice in damp soil’; could evaluate the method by considering ways in which it could be improved, e.g. using more woodlice, using a larger container, taking measurements for a longer period of time.
