observations can be compared to predictions and the observations of others, which may lead to further questions being identified

• comparing observations of weather at different times of day with those of others, and making predictions about weather patterns in the next week
• comparing observations of different ways to physically change a material, such as by cutting and folding different types of paper, and exploring further questions to investigate physical changes to different materials
• identifying differences between observations of plants and animals by different people
• comparing, with guidance, observations with predictions about the way similar and different objects move
• identifying, after exploration, further questions that arise from comparing observations of sound with observations of others and considering if everyone senses sound in the same way
• suggesting, with guidance, reasons for differences between tracking methods recognised by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples to identify tracks or plants, and the counting of animals by students
