About this printable

This A4 organiser scaffolds an inquiry-based lesson about compass directions. It includes spaces for an inquiry question, prediction, plan, investigation records (what I did / observed / data), analysis, conclusion, communication and reflection. A clear compass rose and key vocabulary (N, E, S, W and intermediate directions) are central to support map-reading language. Use it to structure a short field task or classroom practical where students must use directions, make observations and report findings.
