Review
The National Curriculum states that by around the age of 11 most children will be able to achieve the following targets, that are set for Key Stage Two Science: scientific inquiry:
- recognise that scientific ideas are based on evidence, suggest practical ways to answer scientific questions
- set up a fair test by varying one thing while keeping everything else the same
- make predictions and make a series of observations or measurements
- record them using tables, bar charts and simple graphs
Please note: some experiments may require adult supervision.
