**Session Title: // “Curiouser and Curiouser”, cried Alice! Scientific Enquiry in the National Curriculum of England & Wales //

Guest Speaker:** Stephen Lakeland*, LaSalle Academy

__ Suggested Audience – All __ The 1995 National Curriculum Science attainment target 1 (Sc1) addressed Experimental and Investigative Science. Skills of Planning experimental procedures, Obtaining evidence, Analyzing evidence and Evaluating evidence (POAE) were assessed formally at age 14 and 16, across the country. Come along and see how it was done in the (Wonder)land of Alice, sample some of the investigations used and try out the leveling – sorry, grading – rubric. But if you’re looking for a universal panacea, then you’d probably have to ask Humpty Dumpty!
