Promoting curiosity - asking questions
Good scientists ask lots of questions! It is not about knowing or finding out the right answer.
For example, look carefully at the photo below:
What is happening? What questions could be asked about it?
Working Scientifically
At MJS we endeavour to show that we can 'work scientifically' in different ways.
The 5 main ways are:
- Exploring
- Grouping and classifying
- Observing changes over time
- Fair testing/pattern seeking
- Researching using secondary sources.
In September, every year group take part in a 'working scientifically' carousel to remind them of these skills. See the pictures of Year Threes working scientifically afternoon linked to their topic, 'Rocks and Soils' and Year 6 working scientifically, based on their 'Light' topic. .
