experiences can be used as a basis for posing questions to explore observed patterns and relationships, and to make predictions
- asking questions about everyday objects and the materials these are made from, such as ‘What can shoes be made from?’ and exploring materials that can be used to make shoes (e.g. leather, wood, fur, plastic) and materials that cannot be used to make shoes (e.g. glass)
- asking questions that can be explored, such as how animals meet their needs in particular places: ‘Where does it shelter? Where does it get water from?’
- posing questions to explore patterns and relationships about the appearance or position of celestial objects in space across time, such as ‘I wonder if the Moon will look the same tomorrow or next week as it does today?’
- making predictions before fieldwork, such as about which plants and animals might be observed in the school grounds
- making predictions about explorations, such as ‘I think a plant will die if it doesn’t get enough water’
- making predictions based on experience, such as about what might occur when tissue paper is pulled with different amounts of force
