What’s your opinion and why?
How big are your questions?
These Explorify sports-themed activities, linked to the Great Sports Share Guided Enquiry, are designed to engage pupils in thinking about big questions, drawing on their previous knowledge and experiences. They explain their ideas by sharing these with a partner and/or class. They might go on to ask their own scientific questions which can lead to an investigation.

This Big Question inspires pupils to think about properties of materials and forces, by comparing different surfaces around the school. Pupils could be encouraged to ask questions about the different surfaces, plan how they will test each surface or consider how they will present their results.
A fantastic question to get pupils talking about the different types of materials used in running shoes and shoe design. Pupils could use their investigations to design their own running shoes.
