investigable questions and reasoned predictions can be used in guiding investigations to identify patterns and test relationships
- posing questions that can be investigated scientifically, such as ‘Do all animals in desert habitats have ways to survive without water?’
- posing investigable questions to identify patterns, such as ‘What type of material is the best conductor and what is the best insulator of electricity?’
- making predictions to test relationships, such as whether a particular arrangement of mirrors will enable viewing around corners
- making reasoned predictions about the properties of an unknown solid, liquid or gas
- predicting the relationship between the loudness of a sound and the distance of the sound from its source
