Year 1 science lesson on recording data
Our Scintillating Science scheme offers a clear and engaging approach to science, covering both substantive and disciplinary knowledge. This primary science scheme is fully aligned with the Ofsted science subject report and includes everything teachers need for effective planning and teaching.
Science Scheme | Year 1 | Block 1: Seasonal Changes | Lesson 5: Recording Data supports pupils to explore rainfall through simple data collection and pictograms. This Year 1 science lesson on recording data builds on prior learning and supports working scientifically skills through observation and recording.
Each lesson includes:
- 🧪 Interactive slides to model and guide the learning
- 🧪 A detailed lesson plan with vocabulary, misconceptions, assessment, and prior knowledge
- 🧪 Differentiated worksheet where children record rainfall using pictograms
- 🧪 Guidance for setting up a simple rain gauge and cross-curricular maths links
- 🧪 Continuous provision ideas for Early Years and KS1 classrooms
This lesson encourages careful observation, comparison and recording in a way that’s age-appropriate and practical. It supports progression towards data handling in maths and further scientific enquiry in Key Stage 1.
