6. Wondering whyWondering why Gathering and analysing evidence to find out whyGathering and analysing evidence to find out why What is science?

7. Scientific Key Ideas (the tools for explaining, hypothesising and predicting) What do you think the key ideas about skeletons are for primary age children?What do you think the key ideas about skeletons are for primary age children?

10. A complete skeleton was found How do you think this animal might have moved? Many animals have skeletons to support their bodies and protect vital organs Muscles are connected to bones and move them when they contract. Movable joints connect bones

11. Key Ideas

12. 5. Doing some science

13. .

14. Have a look at this …. Use your knowledge of dissolving (or maybe even particle theory) to explain, as precisely as you can, what is happening to the skittle. Use a large, annotated diagram. Now think about this …

15. Discuss what might happen with the Skittles over the next few minutes.Discuss what might happen with the Skittles over the next few minutes. Use your particle model to help and draw large pictures to explain what you mean.Use your particle model to help and draw large pictures to explain what you mean. If you have more than one idea show all of these as sketches showing particles.If you have more than one idea show all of these as sketches showing particles. 10 min Share your ideas with a neighboring group and reflect on your predictions, make annotations on your drawing to show what you now think.Share your ideas with a neighboring group and reflect on your predictions, make annotations on your drawing to show what you now think. 5 min Carry out the experiment with your neighbours and discuss what it tells you about dissolving, annotate your diagram if appropriate.Carry out the experiment with your neighbours and discuss what it tells you about dissolving, annotate your diagram if appropriate. 10 min
