Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 12+)
Identify patterns and trends in data, draw conclusions that directly address the hypothesis with quantitative reference to evidence, and evaluate the investigation by distinguishing between systematic and random errors and proposing targeted improvements
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 12+) means practising the idea at the table with a simple hands-on check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A simple fair-test kit (cups, spoons, or rulers)
- Results table on paper
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Question: Which melts faster? Change: ice in warm vs cool water. Same: ice size.
Optional challenge. For Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 12+), add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 12+), not mastery.

Check understanding
- Identifies the pattern or trend in a graph or data table using specific values
- Writes a conclusion that references the hypothesis, states whether the prediction was supported, and quotes numerical evidence
- Distinguishes between a systematic error (affects all readings in the same direction) and a random error, and proposes a specific procedural improvement to address each
“After finishing an experiment, can your child describe the trend in the results, write a conclusion that says whether their prediction was right (with figures), and suggest one specific improvement that would make the results more reliable — rather than just saying 'do more repeats'?”
