Lesson Planning

Teaching

• Review the results of our investigations and begin to draw conclusions.
• Use scientific knowledge to explain findings.

Activities

1. Review and discuss the data from the data loggers, make comparisons and explain patterns (Yrs 3&4).
2. Look at the results of the food dye experiment and draw conclusions on how water is transported in plants (Yrs 3&4).
3. Either draw line graphs (Yr4) or write reports on findings (Yr3) and seek to explain and interpret results (Yrs 3&4).
