Abstract

The dominance of 'fair testing' in school science investigations is challenged. The inherent characteristics of different kinds of investigations are described. Six different kinds of investigations are: classifying and identifying; fair testing; pattern seeking; exploring; investigating models; and making things or developing systems. A typical set of investigations is analysed, highlighting the dominance of fair-testing and the under-emphasis of other important kinds of investigations.
