Lab Book builds a printable science investigation recording sheet in seconds. Pick your age band, tick the working-scientifically sections you’re teaching today — research question, prediction, the independent, dependent and control variables, equipment and method, a results table, a graph, and a conclusion — and it drops each one onto the sheet. Then print a clean PDF proforma with just those parts, or launch a step-by-step modelling view to build the investigation together on the whiteboard.
Instead of hunting for a one-size-fits-all template, you get a recording sheet matched to the enquiry and the class in front of you. The wording of each section changes with the age band, the results table and graph grid are yours to set, and the modelling view gives sentence stems and child-friendly explainers so children learn how to write up an experiment, not just fill in boxes. Nothing to install and no sign-in to look around.
Is there a free-to-try science investigation recording sheet?
Yes to use. Pick an age band, tick the sections you want, and model it on the board — all free, and you can look without signing in. Printing the finished sheet spends one token; re-printing the same sheet costs nothing. Every teacher gets 20 free tokens on signing up, and Sage Teachers Pro gives you 30 a day.
What working-scientifically sections does it cover?
Research question, prediction and hypothesis, the independent, dependent and control variables, equipment and method, a results table, a bar or line graph, and a conclusion — tick just the ones you need.
Can I print a science experiment template?
Yes — Print sheet pops out a clean PDF containing only the sections you ticked, ready to hand out or stick in books.
What ages is it for?
Age bands from Key Stage 1 through Years 3 to 6 and older students, with the wording of each section changing to suit the stage you pick.
Can I model the investigation on the whiteboard?
Yes — Launch opens a step-by-step modelling view: move through each part on the board, tap the sentence stems to drop them into the boxes, and tap the ? for a child-friendly explainer.
