These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.

• partial: Ask simple scientific questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways including observation, testing, and research

  Bounded objective: Choose an investigation method that fits a question. Question-generation/planning only; no completed investigation or source evaluation beyond method choice.

• partial: Ask at least three 'how' or 'why' questions about the natural world

  Three question prompts permit original how/why formulations.

• partial: Suggest different ways to answer a question: observing, testing, asking an expert, reading a book

  Observation/testing/research compared with evidence needed.

• partial: Choose an appropriate method to investigate a specific question

  Appropriate method chosen for learner-generated questions; no investigation performed.

• partial: When {{name}} wonders about something — like 'why do leaves change colour?' — can they suggest how to find the answer, whether by looking closely, doing a test, or looking it up?

  Try offers new-question-generation for the bounded objective; it does not establish every part of the source assessment. Question-generation/planning only; no completed investigation or source evaluation beyond method choice.
