Exploring what scientists do

This resource gives students an opportunity to engage in scientific inquiry through the application of working scientifically skills/inquiry skills. The document provides a systematic, step by step scaffold of a scientific investigation using secondary data of atmospheric measurements made on the grounds of Liverpool Girls' High School from March 2019 to February 2020. This resource is suitable for Years 7-10.

Students will:

propose a hypothesis after researching relevant background information
process and analyse data and information
create a graph and interpret results
communicate the process and findings of their investigation in the form of a scientific report
increase their understanding of the atmosphere and the factors that influence it
