The Scientific Method Visual Literacy Sheet

A colourful, visual literacy and revision sheet introducing secondary students to The Scientific Method.

Designed to make scientific vocabulary and experimental design easy to understand, the resource includes:

• The six steps of the scientific method
• Hypothesis writing
• Independent, dependent and controlled variables

• Data, conclusions and evaluation
• Useful scientific sentence starters
• A worked photosynthesis investigation showing how distance from a lamp
• Affects the rate of oxygen bubbles produced by a plant
• Clear identification of the independent and dependent variables
• Simple definitions and visual examples

The accessible language and visual scaffolds make this particularly useful for EAL/EALD learners, literacy support and mixed-ability Science classes, while still being suitable as a whole-class revision resource.
