Design An Investigation
• How well do you know your classmates?

• You are going to conduct research by designing and carrying out an


investigation.

• Your teacher will ask you to work with a partner.

• What sort of things could you find out?

11
Investigation Example
• Before you start your investigation, let’s look at an example:

• Nadiya’s group have chosen the topic Colours.

• They write down 10 data items for their classmates to


choose from: Red, orange, pink, green, orange, purple,
blue, yellow, lilac, indigo

• They think of a statement: My favourite colour is …

• They pass the investigation form around for the class to


complete by writing their name against their favourite
colour.

12
Activity 1
Let’s Choose an investigation and use the table
Practise provided in your student guide to capture
information from your class. • Decide on ten items for your classmates to choose
from.
You can choose one of the following suggestions or
use an idea of your own: • You may wish to add an extra instruction. For
example, in the case of picking a favourite, you may
• BOOKS I have read … write the instruction “Choose one item only”.
• SPORT I play …
• PLACES I have visited … • Working with your partner, complete the Data
• FOOD I like eating … Capture form.
• ANIMALS I have a pet …
• TV PROGRAMMES I enjoy watching … • Now check the final version of your form:
• Are there any spelling mistakes?
• If you have given extra instructions, are they
clear?

13 • Keep your work safe, ready for next lesson.
