Follow procedures to make and record observations, including making formal measurements using familiar scaled instruments and using digital tools as appropriate
Use provided scaffolds to plan and conduct investigations to answer questions or test predictions, including identifying the elements of fair tests, and considering the safe use of materials and equipment
Describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions
Construct and use representations, including tables, simple column graphs and visual or physical models, to organise data and information, show simple relationships and identify patterns
Pose questions to explore observed patterns and relationships and make predictions based on observations
Examine how people use data to develop scientific explanations
Compare findings with those of others, consider if investigations were fair, identify questions for further investigation and draw conclusions
Write and create texts to communicate findings and ideas for identified purposes and audiences, using scientific vocabulary and digital tools as appropriate
