Curriculum content descriptions
compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance (AC9S1I05)
Elaborations
- comparing observations with those of others, such as how many birds each group counted in the playground or how much each group’s seedling has grown in a week
- consulting with First Nations Australians to compare observations and evaluate identifications of animal tracks
- exploring if making weather observations at different times of day makes a difference and considering how they could compare weather across each day more fairly
- comparing observations of movement with predictions, such as how far an object travels
- exploring if all ‘big’ pushes are the same by comparing how far an object travels with different students doing the pushing, and discussing how they could have made the investigation fairer
