scientific questions and predictions can be investigated safely by following procedures that have sequenced steps
- following safe procedures to record a plant’s seasonal changes by taking photographs, videos, drawings or making measurements
- exploring different ways of investigating science questions through guided discussion
- following steps in a guided investigation to determine how different objects move when pushed or pulled or suggesting steps for setting up and packing away equipment
- following visual or verbal steps to construct a musical instrument or manipulate a material
- suggesting safe procedures to observe the Sun, and taking measurements such as drawing chalk lines and using a length of string to measure shadows
- suggesting the materials and equipment that could be used to test predictions and measure the loudness of sounds made by different objects
