Learn to plan your investigations and conclusions… with the Sticky Note Enquiry Planning Tool!

SUPPORTING GREAT SCIENTIFIC Enquiry

Planning is a skill that pupils need modelling. With the Planning Prompts, you can be sure that pupils are exposed to the method of planning their own investigations, from developing clear questions, deciding what to measure/observe and how they will set up their enquiries.

Use other tools from the Great Science Toolkit to help you with each stage.

TIPS FOR PLANNING:

• Allow pupils time to verbalise the investigation they are going to tackle.

• Ensure the enquiry question is clear and unambiguous so that pupils can then plan what they will be measuring/observing. This then helps them to make decisions on how they set up the enquiry and how they will record data.
