Investigating - My Results

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with investigating and making simple tables and charts from the results.

This quiz is all about the results you get from investigating. Some results are best shown in a chart. We can make others into a table. Some are best written down. Can you make tables from your results? What do your results mean? What have you found out? Scientists are always trying to explain things. Can you answer all these quiz questions about investigating?
