| Statement of What Matters | Being curious and searching for answers is essential to understanding and predicting phenomena |
| Key Concept | Being Curious- Questioning and Investigating |
| Overarching Learning Intention | To use logic, evidence and creativity to inquire into and apply scientific knowledge and evaluate scientific claims to help make informed decisions so that learners enjoy solving problems and can explain their ideas and concepts. |
| Concepts to consider within this Statement of What Matters | Question, Observe, Test, Evaluate and Justify |

| Learning Intentions | |||||
| Skills- what will I be able to do by the end of the learning experience? | To make simple predictions To Choose simple equipment To use non-standard measurements e.g. 5 cups To draw simple diagrams To come to basic conclusions |
To practice and begin to use scientific vocabulary To begin to use and understand standard measurements e.g. kg, s, m. |
To enhance scientific vocabulary To practice using previous knowledge and understanding when predicting To use standard measurements e.g. kg, s, m. To develop their conclusions |
To predict using previous knowledge and understanding To change ideas that’s suggested, and own ideas, to an investigation To use standard measurements e.g. kg, s, N, m. |
To decide on the most appropriate investigation To make predictions using knowledge, understanding and previous preliminary work To search for information in a systematic way, processed and analysed for specific purposes Enhance use of standard measurements e.g. kg, s, N, m, J, w. |
| Knowledge- What will I know and understand by the end of the learning experience? | Show curiosity and question how things work. Explore the environment, make observations and communicate my ideas. |
Ask questions and use my experience to suggest simple methods of inquiry. Recognise patterns from my observations and investigations and can communicate my findings. |
Ask questions and use my experience to suggest methods of inquiry. Suggest conclusions as a result of carrying out my inquiries. Evaluate methods to suggest improvements. |
Identify questions that can be investigated scientifically and suggest suitable methods of inquiry. Suggest conclusions as a result of carrying out my inquiries. Evaluate methods to suggest improvements. |
Research, devise and use suitable methods of inquiry to investigate my scientific questions. select relevant scientific knowledge from a range of evidence sources to evaluate claims presented as scientific facts. |
