  8. Working Scientifically Living Things Materials Attitudes Attitudes Designing & Making Environmental awareness & Care Energy &Forces

  9. Working Scientifically • Questioning • Observing • Predicting • Investigating & experimenting • Estimating & Measuring • Analysing…sorting & classifying • Recording and communicating (Exemplar 10 p56Teacher Guidelines)

  10. Fair Testing • What do I want to measure? • What do I keep the same ? • What do I change ? Teacher Guidelines p.20

  11. What happens to things in water? • What are we trying to find out? • How will we investigate? • How will we make sure our test is fair? • TG p 125

  12. Investigation • Design your experiment • Examine the materials. Don’t taste • Predict which will dissolve best • Carry out the experiment • Record your results

  13. Working Scientifically • Questioning • Observing • Predicting • Investigating & experimenting • Estimating & Measuring • Analysing…sorting & classifying • Recording and communicating (Exemplar 10 p56Teacher Guidelines)

  14. Safety & Gender Issues • Caution regarding sampling ingredients. Don’t taste. • Washing hands • Use plastic rather than glass • Gender… Science for all.
