Science teaching at Sandhill Primary School aims to give all children a strong understanding of the world around them, while acquiring knowledge and skills to help them think and work scientifically. At Sandhill we want children to enjoy their science lessons and assume the role of a scientist whilst they are conducting their experiments, therefore we offer many opportunities within our topics for children to be able to do this.
We also ensure that the skills linked with working scientifically are embedded in each topic the children cover. Topics such as: materials, plants and my body are taught in Key Stage One and developed upon in Key Stage Two. This enables children to build upon their skills and prior knowledge throughout their journey through school. Children are encouraged to plan, conduct and evaluate experiments as well as being given the opportunities to question the world around them and become independent learners by exploring answers for their scientific questions. |
