Year 2 Lesson 19

This 90-minute lesson prepares learners to carry out safe, systematic fieldwork for their independent astronomy project. Guide pupils to finalise a repeatable observing protocol, select and customise the appropriate data log, practise accurate and honest recording, and complete the safety checks required before an evening session. Reinforce that only the independent variable should change, and that gaps and uncertainty are valid scientific evidence. By the end, each learner should have a workable method, an equipment plan, a poor-weather contingency, and clear arrangements for adult support.
