Working scientifically SCIENCE


ENGLAND Observe closely using simple equipment e.g. magnifying glass.


SCOTLAND Observe, collect, measure and record evidence.


WALES They ask and answer a range of questions, observe, collect and record information in a variety of ways.


NORTHERN IRELAND Exploring and examining photographs, objects and other items.


Arrange for the children to work with real samples of fruit. If possible choose unusual fruits such as pomegranate, guava and star fruit.


• Talk about how important it is in science to look very carefully at objects.


• Together or in groups, ask the children to look carefully and describe the look, smell and feel of the outside of the fruit. Encourage them to use all their senses.


• Under supervision, cut the fruit open and again encourage them to look carefully with a magnifying glass and again to use their senses.


• Ensure that you get children to record their findings – e.g. take photographs, paint or draw, record their descriptions using simple recording devices, write simple sentences or create word banks of exciting vocabulary.


ART


ENGLAND Use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination.


WALES Mix shape, arrange and combine materials to create their own images and objects, communicate and express their ideas, feelings and memories creatively Scotland: Insired by a range of stimuli, I can express and communicate my ideas, thoughts and feelings through activities within art & design.


NORTHERN IRELAND Ireland: From observing and recording first hand experiences and responding to memory and imagination to being able to collect, examine, select and use resource material to contribute to the development of ideas


• Make close observational drawings linked to the science activity above, using magnifying glasses to focus on the detail. Extend by using pen and ink, chalks or pastels.


• Make fruits for use in role play from clay, modelling dough, junk modelling or paint. • Print with fruit. Use the textures of the skins or cut them in half, dip in paint and stamp.
