The National Curriculum for Science provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics and working scientifically. Knowledge, skills and concepts will be developed through practical enquiry which starts with Year 1 children and continues through to Year 6.
Topics are revisited to consolidate learning and to practise the skills of observation, pattern seeking, identifying, classifying and grouping, comparative and fair testing and researching using secondary sources. Pupils will seek answers to questions through collecting, analysing and presenting data.
