Key Stage 2
Meaning
A method is the set of instructions you follow to complete an experiment.
About Methods
- A method can be followed if you are trying to copy another person's experiment.
- A method can be written if you have created your own experiment and want other people to be able to copy it.
- Methods should be written in the form of "writing to instruct". They do not use any personal pronouns; I, you, he, she, we, or they.
- A method often has a diagram with it to identify how to set up the experiment or name the pieces of equipment.
