Lesson details
Key learning points
- Humans ask questions to help them to understand the world, including how things work and why things happen.
- Some questions require an answer of only yes or no.
- Yes/no questions often begin with ‘Do’, ‘Are’, ‘Is’, ‘Have’ or 'Can'.
- We can use answers to yes/no questions to help us to identify and name unknown things.

Common misconception
Pupils may believe that all questions need a full explanation to answer.
By working through the examples on the slide deck and completing the tasks, pupils will see that some questions can be answered with a simple yes or no. This is an important skill when using and creating identification keys for classification.
Equipment
