About this printable

This printable is a structured science observation and investigation template that scaffolds the full enquiry process: identify what is being observed, make a prediction, record qualitative and quantitative observations, log measurements in a trials table, plot a graph, draw conclusions and suggest next steps. It is student-facing and designed to be completed during or immediately after a simple practical investigation. The layout uses numbered, colour-coded boxes and small icons to prompt senses (see/hear/smell/feel/measure).
