The Nutrition practical investigations assessment type is assessed by the school and moderated at Stage 2. Teachers select moderation samples and submit materials online.

Students complete two tasks:

• one design practical investigation
• one investigation with a focus on science as a human endeavor

For the design practical investigation students produce an individual report. The report should be a maximum of 1500 words if written, or a maximum of 6 minutes for an oral presentation, or the equivalent in multimodal form.

Based on their investigation students prepare a scientific report, which must include the use of scientific terminology. This report should be a maximum of 1500 words if written, or a maximum of 9 minutes for an oral presentation, or the equivalent in multimodal form.

Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.
