As part of the science curriculum, pupils must plan and carry out a variety of simple scientific tests. These resources can be used to support pupils to plan and write-up their scientific enquiries, with opportunities to record predictions, equipment needed, data gathered and write conclusions.

Two science Investigation write-up sheets are included, in slightly differing formats for you to choose from, to support write-ups of scientific enquiries using a consistent template across KS1. Both are available as PDFs or editable Word documents, to make changes to titles and subheadings where needed for your classroom or school.

• Science Investigation Write-up – template 1 (PDF and Word docs)
