The following table references a number of science investigations. Go to the sites or follow the links and check each investigation. Check the safety requirements of your system to see if the activity is suitable for the year that you teach. Check with your latest science curriculum to see if it is a suitable activity for the year you teach. Does it represent an example of an activity that is a ‘fair test,’ a ‘design and make’ activity or is it more suitable for using models, information research, surveys or data from secondary sources or perhaps is it a combination?
