This main unit in the Ideas and Evidence pack from the Pupil Researcher Initiative is about how difficult it can be to make predictions. Scientists can predict some things quite accurately, but in other cases it is much more difficult to make a prediction. A good example of this is trying to predict exactly when an earthquake or a volcanic eruption will occur.
