KS1 Investigating | Making Tables and Charts from Results

Science Quiz - Investigating - My Results (Questions)

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.

Can you answer all these quiz questions about investigating?
