After finishing an experiment, can your child describe the trend in the results, write a conclusion that says whether their prediction was right (with figures), and suggest one specific improvement that would make the results more reliable — rather than just saying 'do more repeats'?

Check understanding
- Identifies the pattern or trend in a graph or data table using specific values
- Writes a conclusion that references the hypothesis, states whether the prediction was supported, and quotes numerical evidence
- Distinguishes between a systematic error (affects all readings in the same direction) and a random error, and proposes a specific procedural improvement to address each
