We began our new topic in science this afternoon, starting with drawing a mind map to try and link some of the new key vocabulary we would be using. Following this, we talked about inherited and environmental features. The children had already completed a sheet for homework about what features they shared with other family members and so had a look at them and then talked about the difference between inherited and environmental. After this, we carried out our own investigations, focussing on one particular inherited feature, to find out what was most common in our class. The children then chose how to display their findings - all of them opting for a bar graph. As an extra challenge, some children looked at a further question - Are people who can roll their tongues more likely to be have a hitch hiker's thumb. This time, rather than using a table to record their investigation, they chose to record it in a Carroll diagram. I then presented the data in a pie chart, ready to use at the start of next weeks lesson!
