Students design investigations that use evidence, methods, and reflection to deepen understanding of scientific questions.
How this handout aligns
The template explicitly supports question design, variable planning, method choice, and evidence collection across an integrated investigation.
Useful where kaiako want students to plan an investigation with more independence and stronger evidence logic.
Students connect different knowledge sources and consider how evidence is interpreted through context, relationship, and method.
How this handout aligns
The dual planning structure makes the integration step visible, helping students compare and combine science methods with mātauranga-informed observations.
Most useful in programmes where kaiako explicitly want to integrate science learning with local knowledge and protocol.
Students communicate conclusions that show what was learned, how it was learned, and what questions remain.
How this handout aligns
The integrated findings and conclusion prompts help ākonga move beyond isolated results toward a reflective explanation of process, evidence, and next steps.
Useful for assessment planning, practical reports, and project-based science inquiry.
