• 2 consulting with First Nations Australians to compare observations and evaluate identifications of animal tracks
• 3 exploring if making weather observations at different times of day makes a difference and considering how they could compare weather across each day more fairly
• 4 comparing observations of movement with predictions, such as how far an object travels
• 5 exploring if all ‘big’ pushes are the same by comparing how far an object travels with different students doing the pushing, and discussing how they could have made the investigation fairer
