NeedhamL56 - Moderator Feb 1 @ 3:04 PM EST

ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:05 PM EST

#asechat Maint Curios The best teaching driven by determined subject leadership that put scientific enquiry at the heart of science teaching

@ViciaScience me! But only because @hrogerson pointed then out about an hour ago... #asechat
NeedhamL56 - Moderator Feb 1 @ 3:06 PM EST

@ViciaScience The NC calls them Enquiry not investigation #asechat. Is there a difference?
doc_kristy Feb 1 @ 3:07 PM EST

@NeedhamL56 @ViciaScience I don't think so... Semantics? #asechat
NeedhamL56 - Moderator Feb 1 @ 3:07 PM EST

@doc_kristy @ViciaScience @hrogerson well sone Kirsty. They are specified in KS1 & 2 PoS but not in KS3 or 4 #ASEchat
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:07 PM EST

@doc_kristy In KS1 & 2, but I do not think they are listed in KS3 and 4 Science National Curriculum #ASEChat

@NeedhamL56 #asechat Comparative & fair testing Pattern seeking Obs over time Research using sec sources Grouping, identifying & classifying
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:09 PM EST

So has 'investigation' taken on more specific meaning recently - open ended, self directed question solving? #ASEChat
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:09 PM EST

@NeedhamL56 bit of an echo round here! #ASEChat
NeedhamL56 - Moderator Feb 1 @ 3:10 PM EST

2/2 "through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them” #ASEchat PoS

@NeedhamL56 #asechat and develop their knowledge
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:10 PM EST

@priscigeeks so how would you classify an enquiry to compare the structure of two different flowers? #ASEChat
Glazgow Feb 1 @ 3:11 PM EST

@priscigeeks @NeedhamL56 #ASEchat In the Scottish curriculum only 4 types of enquiry are listed - same as yours but no Research!

@NeedhamL56 right now discussing 5 types of Enquiry/Investigation at #ASEchat Follow along + collaborate https://t.co/spZjiBL1Gz @theASE

Pupils should decide on the appropriate type of scientific enquiry to undertake to answer their own questions (p3 KS3 PoS 2014) #asechat
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:12 PM EST

@danielharvey9 I have heard it used in context of 'doing a full investigation' as if it were a EPQ #ASEChat
stevethedoc1 Feb 1 @ 3:12 PM EST

@ViciaScience @priscigeeks #asechat which type do you want, is it possible to do any of them or all of them, just what are you trying to do
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:13 PM EST

@stevethedoc1 I was wondering about 'observation' without it being over time, e.g. what are features of a monocot flower #ASEChat
ViciaScience Feb 1 @ 3:14 PM EST

@Glazgow @priscigeeks @NeedhamL56 Yes, not really sure how 'research' sneaked in there #ASEChat
