Lesson details
Key learning points
- Scientists ask relevant questions in order to find out more about the world.
- A survey is a method of gathering information using relevant questions.
- A survey is usually taken from a sample of people with the aim of understanding populations as a whole.

Common misconception
Pupils may think that human development milestones happen at the same time for everyone.
Using the lesson resources to support, explain that humans are all different and so grow and develop at different rates. This is why we need surveys to find out more information, as one rule cannot be applied to all humans.
Equipment
None required.
