The purpose of this activity is to develop children’s ability to support their conclusions with evidence. The teacher will model, encourage and then scaffold the use of language that supports children in referring to the data they have collected when discussing and/or presenting their results. Children will then have the opportunity to collaborate with peers and explore their use of language by presenting their results in a way that is understandable to others. During this process the teacher will scaffold language development by offering a range of acceptable alternatives, both discretely through participation in discussion and overtly through the use of talking and writing frames, to the language the children have selected themselves and by remodelling and rephrasing as part of the ongoing discussion of results. | The purpose of this activity is to develop children’s ability to support their conclusions with evidence.

Other science based learning outcomes from a full science investigation include for example, fair testing, accurate measurement and data gathering, data handling and presentation of results, selecting and using appropriate resources. As part of a longer science topic these outcomes can be exploited in full as the investigation progresses or they can be used as experiential learning to be drawn on as part of subsequent investigations. | Other science based learning outcomes from a full science investigation include for example, fair testing, accurate measurement and data gathering, data handling and presentation of results, selecting and using appropriate resources.
