The power of wind

This Science scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help Key Stage 2 pupils investigate how wind force affects seed dispersal through a comparative test. It guides teachers through each stage of the inquiry cycle – from posing testable questions and designing model seeds, to testing wind strength and recording grouped data using bar charts. Pupils explore how variables like wind force influence seed movement, collect results, and identify patterns or anomalies to draw meaningful conclusions.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s ScienceWorking scientifically resources. It supports teachers in delivering a full-cycle scientific investigation, encouraging the development of inquiry skills, scientific thinking, and real-world application. With the use of knowledge organisers, structured tasks, and assessment opportunities, the video ensures teachers are equipped to lead engaging, reflective, and purposeful Science lessons.
