Fascinating Fact:

I use my results to answer questions, like “Which car went furthest?” or “Which towel soaked up most water?”

In KS1 Science, you don’t just test ideas, you also look carefully at what happened. By reading your results, you decide what worked best and explain your answers clearly.

Key Terms

Results: The measurements or observations you collect during an investigation.
Table: A simple chart used to write numbers or words so results are neat and easy to read.
Conclusion: What you decide after looking at your results, such as which object was fastest or strongest.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you use results in KS1 science investigations?

In KS1 science, you look at your results to answer the question you tested. For example, you check which car rolled furthest or which material kept water in best.

Why should KS1 children record their results in a table?

Recording results in a table keeps information tidy and easy to compare. It helps children quickly see patterns, such as the biggest number or the best-performing object.

What questions can children answer using their experiment results?

Children can answer questions like “Which was fastest?”, “Which soaked up most?”, or “Which stayed warmest?” by carefully checking the numbers or notes in their results.
