Pupils needing extra support

Should use the Resource: Keyword prompts to help them identify variables; should use the Resource: Keyword prompts to help them write their prediction; could use the Knowledge organiser: Science – Forces and magnets and the Knowledge organiser: Science – Plant reproduction to help them write their prediction; could use the Resource: Seed template printed on card to make their seed; should work on a flat surface, such as a long table or the floor, to make it easier to position the equipment and take measurements.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should independently suggest the changed, measured and control variables relevant to the enquiry question; should design a results table with space for three tests; could apply observations of wind-dispersed seeds when writing their prediction; could choose an extension activity from the Resource: Stretch and challenge: How does wind force affect seed dispersal?.
