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.
