This unit is designed to extend children's investigative work. It focuses on finding the answer to:
- an environmental question
- a technological question.
Both investigations require children to:
- plan a suitable approach
- collect and record evidence in an appropriate manner
- explain their results using scientific knowledge and understanding
- evaluate the evidence collected and consider its limitations.
The unit could be taught at appropriate points during years 5 and 6 or as a whole at the end of year 6 to revisit or extend some types of enquiry that may not have been fully covered by children. It is not intended to replace work on scientific enquiry in other units.
This unit takes approximately 7 hours.
