  • Identifying scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments.
    • Children answer their own and others’ questions based on observations they have made, measurements they have taken or information they have gained from secondary sources. When doing this, they discuss whether other evidence e.g. from other groups, secondary sources and their scientific understanding, supports or refutes their answer.
      • They talk about how their scientific ideas change due to new evidence that they have gathered
      • They talk about how new discoveries change scientific understanding.
  • .Reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and a degree of trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other presentations.
    • In their conclusions, children: identify causal relationships and patterns in the natural world from their evidence; identify results that do not fit the overall pattern; and explain their findings using their subject knowledge.
    • They evaluate, for example, the choice of method used, the control of variables, the precision and accuracy of measurements and the credibility of secondary sources used.
      • They identify any limitations that reduce the trust they have in their data.
      • They communicate their findings to an audience using relevant scientific language and illustrations.
  • Using test results to make predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests and predict further outcomes
