Investigating - Asking Questions
This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with simple examples of questions that can be investigated.
Scientists ask lots of questions, some simple - some hard. What is this thing? What is it made from? How does it work? What does it do? Where did it come from? Why is it that shape? What is it like? Then scientists investigate questions. This quiz looks at questions you might investigate in science at school. Some questions are just too hard to investigate at school or at home but some are simpler. Some questions are better than others. This quiz gets you thinking about what makes a good question in science.
