WS01 - Watch it move

Science, Foundation Year

By the end of Foundation students group plants and animals based on external features. They identify factors that influence the movement of objects. They describe the observable properties of the materials that make up objects. They identify examples of people using observation and questioning to learn about the natural world.  

 

Students pose questions and make predictions based on their experiences. They engage in investigations and make observations safely. With guidance, they represent observations and identify patterns. With guidance, they compare their observations with their predictions. They share questions, predictions, observations and ideas about their experiences with others.

AC9SFI05

share questions, predictions, observations and ideas with others

1. Describes how differently shaped objects move. 

 

2. Links a variety of factors such as shape, size, material, weight and attachments to the way objects move.

 

3. Represents observations in a provided table. 

 

4. Responds to questions about how and why objects move with accurate and plausible observations and ideas.

 

5. Considers observations and predicts which object would be most suitable for a game, based on its properties.
