A super scientist (or two) asked what capabilitiescould contribute to a functional knowledge of science...
Five capabilitieshave been identified:
Gather and interpret data: Learners make careful observations and differentiate between observation and inference.
Use evidence: Learners support their ideas with evidence and look for evidence supporting others' explanations.
Critique evidence: Not all questions can be answered by science.
Interpret representations: Scientists represent their ideas in a variety of ways, including models, graphs, charts, diagrams and written texts.
Engage with science: This capability requires students to use the other capabilities to engage with science in “real life” contexts.

At Owairaka we are implementing learning experiences that provide opportunity for our students to develop the five science capabilities
