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 simple methods used to investigate and answer questions.

What method would you use? How would you measure it? How would you count it? This quiz looks into ways of investigating and finding answers in science.
