Venue: Discovate – Experiential Science, Adventure & Innovation Zone
Program Type: Full-Day Experiential Field Inquiry
Age Group: 12–13 years
Duration: One Full Academic Day
Focus: Scientific systems, forces, human response systems, innovation and technological application
This full-day field inquiry positions Discovate as an applied science laboratory where students investigate how systems operate, interact and respond to variables in real-world environments.
Learners explore motion systems, balance mechanisms, sensory responses and technological innovations through structured observation and experiential engagement. Students analyse cause–effect relationships, examine how variables influence outcomes and evaluate how design enhances safety and efficiency.
The inquiry progression follows:
Prediction → Observation → Variable Analysis → Evidence-Based Explanation → Evaluation of Design
Students collect structured evidence, identify interacting components within systems, analyse outcomes and construct justified scientific explanations.
Cambridge Lower Secondary Science (Stage 7):
• Describe forces and their effects on motion
• Explain gravity, friction and balanced/unbalanced forces
• Investigate how variables influence outcomes
• Understand human body systems and response mechanisms
• Collect, record and interpret scientific evidence
Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives (Stage 7):
• Analyse how innovation solves problems
• Evaluate technological design and safety
Cambridge Lower Secondary English (Stage 7):
• Present reasoned explanations supported by evidence
• Participate in structured scientific discussion
Students will:
• Investigate scientific systems operating in real contexts
• Analyse cause–effect relationships within motion and sensory systems
• Identify variables influencing system outcomes
• Evaluate how technological design enhances safety and performance
• Justify scientific explanations using observed evidence
Students will:
• Identify and explain at least two systems observed in action
• Analyse one variable that influenced an outcome
• Describe cause–effect relationships using scientific terminology
• Evaluate one example of innovation improving safety or efficiency
• Construct a structured evidence-based explanation
AO1: Research and Enquiry – Gather structured observational evidence
AO2: Analysis – Explain interactions between system components
AO3: Evaluation – Assess effectiveness of technological design
AO4: Communication – Present scientific reasoning clearly and logically
