Key Skills for Investigating and Observing

• notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
• find out about and describe the basic needs of animals, including humans, for survival (water, food and air)

• Make simple observations
• Ask simple questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways
• Use simple equipment such as magnifying glasses and (digital) microscopes for observation and egg timers for timing.
• Gather data and record it to help answer questions – also using ICT
• Use simple scientific language relevant to the area of study and in investigations
• Record my observations in writing and simple diagrams
• I compare observations using scientific vocabulary
• I say whether what happened was what I expected
