AM WORKING AT LEVEL TWO
My targets and achievements in Scientific
Enquiry
I can:
·
Use simple texts to find information
·
Suggest how my ideas might be tested and start
to decide what observations and measurements I will need
·
Measure length and mass using simple equipment
with standard measures e.g. Meter sticks, measuring jugs, balances, timers,
thermometers
·
Predict what I think will happen in an
experiment
·
With help carry out a fair test and explain why
it is fair / recognise when a test is fair or unfair
·
Compare three or more things
·
Record the results of my tests or experiments in
a variety of ways including tables / charts / using the computer
·
Can explain simple patterns from measurements
taken
·
Say what I have found out from my work

thoughts
·
Understand the need to improve my work and make
suggestions how to do this
I
AM WORKING AT LEVEL THREE
My targets and achievements in Scientific
Enquiry
I can:
·
Choose information to help me from different
sources provided including the computer
·
Make most of the planning decisions when
planning an investigation
·
Show I know why fair tests are needed and know
how to vary one factor whilst keeping others the same
·
Make predictions about what is going to happen
in a test
·
Select appropriate equipment from a range
·
Use equipment effectively reading standard
measures
·
Make a series of observations, comparing 5 or
more things
·
Sometimes take repeated readings
·
Present my results clearly using tables and bar
charts, take repeat recordings and discuss my ideas
·
Plot points to make a line graph and I have
noticed how these can show patterns in my data
·
Take account of these patterns when drawing
conclusions with support
·
Start to relate my conclusions to the science
that I know

Suggest improvements in my work and give reasons
for what I say

Record my results in a systematic way and
present data as line graphs
·
Draw conclusions which are consistent with the
evidence and relate them to my scientific knowledge and understanding

theories, observations and conclusions
·
See and suggest where and how I can improve my
work
