Investigating in Science
Exploring a situation
She makes observations and looks for patterns and relationships as she records the life cycle.
Using systematic approaches and scientific conventions
Georgina's drawing and summary show she is able to carry out observations based on her own ideas and collect relevant data.
Processing and interpreting
Georgina's "after view" shows she was able to reach a conclusion to a simple investigation linked to her own knowledge.
Reporting
Georgina reports on some or all of her investigation in an organised way (see Georgina's "after view"). |
Developing and Communicating Scientific Understanding
Using scientific ideas in constructing explanations
Georgina offers explanations for her experiences using some scientific ideas, when she includes egg-laying to complete the full life cycle.
Using scientific vocabulary
Georgina explores new vocabulary and uses it to label observable features (see "It finds a mate" in Georgina's "after view") (L1).
Georgina experiments with vocabulary to identify observable features but she is not totally consistent with usage – she uses the term "chrysalises" in her "before" text and "cocoon" in her "after view". |
