Try to read your child's work with them on a regular basis and ask them what they have been studying. Don't be afraid to get actively involved with their homework, especially research activities. Encourage your child to recognise the need for adding details to their work; making their written work clear and accurate especially when labelling diagrams. Ensure that your child uses the correct units for measurement; e.g. Length - metres (m), centimetres (cm); amount of material - grams (g), kilograms (Kg); force - newtons (N) and temperature - degrees celsius (C). Encourage your child to put their investigation data and results into tables and bar chart graphs / line graphs which are accurately drawn. Encourage the careful examination of investigation results and their knowledge of the work to draw scientific conclusions. Try to identify data that does not fit the trend or general pattern. Support your child to answer questions using relevant scientific terms and information.
