Connection; How did the (speed of the fall) link to the (size of the parachute)? What was the relationship between (size of egg) and (amount of mess)? What combination of variables provided the clearest evidence? How was the (length of time) affected by the (surface area)? || Function & Reflection Reflection (Answering 'How do we know?') How does analysis and evaluation of data lead to scientific discovery? What ways can you analyse your data/ results to find clear results? Why is evaluation of experiments crucial to scientific success? Review the reliability of your evidence. How do you know?

Function (Explaining 'How does it work') Why do scientists need to study the behaviour of their (Materials/ controls) in order to make advances? How did the behaviour of your (material/ object) differ when you changed the....? Statement; The jigsaw pieces of how something works must be carefully joined in order to fully understand the scientific process. Discuss.

Perspective; What's the difference between subjectivity and objectivity? Is there a danger in subjective choices? How does (the media) push me into making subjective choices?
