human growth investigation - suitable for Y4, Y5 and Y6

A interactive white board file (Activ Inspire) which investigates:

"Is there a relationship between human growth and foot size"

(can be easily changed to compare growth against arm span / hand size etc)

Excellent investigation, which encourages the children to:

• plan out an investigation
• consider variables which need to be controlled
• make predictions
• taking measurements with increasing accuracy
• record data as a scatter graph
• differentiated and scaffolded to support a range of abilities
• identify and use evidence to support / refute conclusions

Includes example work…
