methods and findings can be compared with those of others to identify sources of error, to select evidence in support of reasoned explanations and conclusions, and to develop further questions for investigation
- recognising errors that could have occurred while classifying solids, liquids and gases, such as incorrect measuring or misreading of measurements of volume or mass of gases
- recognising errors that could have occurred during testing of the effects of temperature, light availability and rainfall on plants or animals, including changing too many variables, measuring incorrectly or misreading measurements, and in relation to changes in environmental factors
- discussing the difference between data and evidence when considering weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition, and examining how evidence is selected
- comparing and contrasting data collected by different individuals or groups to discuss similarities and differences in findings, and posing questions for further investigation
