P2 suggest how to find things out

O2acompare objects, events + living things.                                                                                           O2b record in a table                                                                                                                          O2c Use simple apparatus safely

A2a say if what happened was what was expected                                                                                 A2b   sort or classify information using texy +ICT as apprpriate

(automatically give ?)

3

P3a make simple predictions           P3b Make a simple plan               P3c understand fair and unfair tests

O3a measure quantities such as length, mass and temp.                     3b carry out a fair test given help                                          O3c record observations and measurements in a variety of ways

A3a explain simple patterns or observations                                                                                           A3b sat what has been found out                                                                                                         A3c Use relevant scientific vocab + ICT as appropriate

E3 (comment on accuracy)

4

P4a plan a fair test (control 1 variable)                                  P4b Understand that information can be gathered from text, ICT and investigations

O4a choose the best equipment for the job                                            O4b carry out a fair test                   O4c make enough observations and measurements                                O4d present observations or measurements in tables with headings and units

A4a draw simple graphs and use them to spot patterns and trends, use ICT if appropriate                                           A4b relate the conclusions to scientific knowledge and/or patterns observed

E4 suggest improvements

5

P5a identify things that need to be kept under control ( 2 variables)                                P5b use knowledge  of science to make predictions

O5a observe and measure with appropriate precision                       O5b repeat observations & measurements (if appropriate)

A5a present data as line graphs            A5b draw conclusions consistent with evidence                                              A5c relate the conclusion to scientific knowledge and understanding

E5 explain any differences in repeated observations or measurements

6

P6a identify key factors in more complex situations                                                                                   P6b use knowledge and understanding of science to make predictions                                                       P6c select and use suitable sources of information ncluding ICT where appropriate

O6a make precise observations and measurements using fine divisions

A6a choose scales for graphs               A6b select + use appropriate methods of presenting qualitative and quantitive data + outcomes

E6a identify measurements that do not fit the main patterns or trends                         E6b suggest improvements in the method

7

P7a  control 3 variable              P7b say if repeats are needed    P7c assess and control  rsiks

O7a make systematic observations   O7b use a range of apparatus safely

A7a draw line(s) of best fit                     A7b comment on and if possible explain their findings

E7a say if results are sufficient to draw conclusions                     E7b bsuggest how they might  collect more information in order to check the validity of their conclusions
