Common misconception

Children may think that scientists only present information in written, formal reports.

This lesson encourages lots of different forms of reporting scientific information, including verbal, pictorial and written.

This lesson is a follow-up lesson from lesson 5 where children are encouraged to use a flowchart to plan the stages of the human circulatory system in a logical order. In this lesson, children will share the information in a verbal, pictorial or written presentation.
