Students outline four ways of improving a given plan for an investigation to make it a fair test.

Students are given an outline of an investigation on heat loss from two different shaped objects (a cube and a sphere). They answer questions on variable control, repeat trialling, and they then graph data from this investigation.

A recount about a whale watch is the context for comprehension questions that require making inferences. The recount is reproduced in the resource. SJ-1-1-1998. Text provided.

For this practical task students plan and carry out a fair test to determine which of four different cups will keep water the hottest over 10 minutes. Students are also required to graph their results and write a conclusion.

Assessment focus: student ability to use contextual clues in order to infer the meaning of a word. (There is a link to the text used for this resource in the Using this Resource section.)

Students state what things will affect how far a cube will travel when flicked in the middle with a ball-point pen, and conduct an experiment to see what happens in practice.

Students calculate the weight of parts of a fish from given proportions.

Students create simple and compound sentences to go with given photos. The focus is on combining sentences, using simple conjunctions. A peer sharing task completes the resource.

Students create simple then compound sentences to go with a photo, using simple conjunctions to join sentences. A peer sharing task completes the resource.

A model of combining two short sentences is given. Students create simple then compound sentences to go with some photos, using simple conjunctions to join sentences. A peer sharing task completes the resource.

This practical task requires students to follow instructions for making a 'green fridge' to determine its efficiency. Students collect and record data from their investigation and answer questions.

For this practical students make observations about dissolving, and plan and carry out an investigation to find out what makes sugar dissolve more quickly.

This comprehension task involves progressively disclosing a poem to students. It assesses their ability to visualise and infer. SJ-3-3-1989. Text not provided.

The focus of this resource is the use of simple conjunctions. Students decide which conjunction to use to combine two ideas to make one sentence.

Students write a set of instructions after reading a science article about growing crystals. Students assess their own writing using the supports provided.

This focus of this resource is punctuating direct speech. Students drag speech marks, commas, and full stops into place to show where direct speech begins and ends. The resource ends with a collaborative writing activity. Students work with a partner to create and punctuate a conversation based on the characters in a photograph.

Task: Make careful observations of objects in a picture to assess the size of one of the objects.

Students describe a functional rule for two spatial patterns.

Task: Students use recent information obtained from space exploration to show how and why beliefs have changed over time. Assessment focus: interpreting information about the provisional nature of science.
