Scientific language

Year 7 students are encouraged to use scientific language when discussing scientific processes and undertaking scientific experiments. The teacher scaffolds his discussions with the class to reinforce the use of scientific language.  Students are encouraged to compare their experiment results and reflect on how and why variations in results occur.
