Science
High-quality Science education provides foundations for understanding the world. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity. Through building key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They should be encouraged to understand how key knowledge and concepts can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. This understanding should be consolidated through their appreciation of applications of Science in society and the economy.
Intentions:
• To stimulate and excite a child’s curiosity about natural phenomena and events in the world around them.
• Enable children to understand how major scientific ideas contribute toward technological change – impacting industry, medicine, business, and improving quality of life.
• To question and discuss science-based issues that may affect their own lives, the directions of society and the future of the world.
