YEAR 6 · TERM 3 · WEEK 9
Independent Media Investigation
Read, think, write, solve and play. Try your own answer before checking. You can have another go.
LEARN & PRACTISE
Word explorer
Read each word. Look for parts you know. Type each word to practise its spelling.
READ & UNDERSTAND
Reading detective
Two websites describe the same science discovery. One headline promises that a single experiment solves a major problem. The other explains the sample size, what was measured and the study's limitations. A researcher checks both articles against the original study and does not rely on dramatic wording to decide which is trustworthy.
WRITE & IMPROVE
Writing studio
Compare two fictional science headlines and explain which needs further verification.
Plan one idea, explain it and check that your sentences make sense. You can edit your writing.
TRY THE EXAMPLE FIRST
Maths mission
A sample of 40 from a population of 200 is 20% of the group.
APPLY YOUR LEARNING
Real-world mission
Create a source-check checklist covering author, date, evidence, context and missing information.
You can also draw or make the activity away from the screen. Record what you did or what you would make.
SKILL GAME · TAKE YOUR TIME
Challenge gate
Use what you learnt to unlock the gate. There's no timer. Mistakes help you find what to try again.
