Investigating in Science
Exploring a situation
William makes observations and looks for patterns and relationships, with prompting as needed.
Reporting
William reports on his investigation in an organised way. He describes the features of his crab, referring to his observations.
(Note that crabs only have four sets of walking legs and one pair of nippers called chelipeds.) |
Developing and Communicating Scientific Understanding
Using scientific ideas in constructing explanations
William offers explanations for his experiences using some scientific ideas. He is able to explain his observations with some understanding of the scientific ideas related to his experiences, such as the trip to the rock pools, and he uses drawing as a simple aid in his explanation.
Using scientific vocabulary
He uses correct labels of crabs. |
