“The task was very useful in making judgements about the children’s progress. It allowed us to model ‘scientific thinking’ and prompted the children to think a lot deeper about why and how they were goig to carry out the experiment.”
Class teacher, Bushey Manor Junior School
“This task was great in enabling the children to talk about what they found out. The children enjoyed the peer learning and the working scientifically assessment criteria that accompanied the lesson made it easy to make judgements.”
Class teacher, Pope Paul Catholic Primary School
