Science
Our aim at Hambrough Primary is that through the acquisition of a body of key foundational scientific knowledge and concepts, our pupils will develop a curiosity about the natural world and its phenomena. Our science curriculum aims to teach our pupils the methods of scientific enquiry that enables them to answer scientific questions about the world they live in. We aim to equip our pupils with the knowledge to interpret the outcomes of scientific enquiry and its possible implications. We aim to encourage our pupils to ask scientific questions and begin to appreciate the way in which science will affect the future on a personal, national and global level.
Our curriculum allows pupils to develop the following disciplinary skills within the domain of Science:
- Scientific Enquiry
- Observing changes over time
- Comparative and fair tests
- Identifying and classifying
- Looking for naturally occurring patterns and relationships
- Recording and reporting findings (KS2)
- Researching and using secondary sources
The following categories of knowledge are used to support pupil retention of information by fostering the development of schemas:
· Working Scientifically (scientific enquiry)
· Biology (life processes and living things)
· Chemistry (materials and their properties)
· Physics (physical processes and their properties)
