Writing Science Reports
Communicate scientific findings in a structured report using appropriate scientific vocabulary, SI units, and standard notation; describe how peer review and replication contribute to the reliability of scientific knowledge
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
A scientific report separates the question, method, observations, conclusion, and evaluation. SI units make measurements clear. Peer review examines a report; replication tests whether a result can be found again.
Turn a supplied paper-ramp investigation into a six-section report.

Check understanding
- Writes a structured scientific report including aim, hypothesis, method, results, conclusion, and evaluation using appropriate scientific vocabulary
- Uses SI units and standard form consistently throughout a report
- Explains what peer review is and why replication by independent researchers is essential for scientific claims to be accepted
“Could your child write up an experiment with all the right sections and scientific language, and explain why a scientific discovery isn’t accepted straight away — describing what peer review means and why other scientists need to repeat the experiment?”
