Science

A high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They should be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes.

Primary National Curriculum England

At Causeway Green Primary School we aim for the children to develop an enthusiasm and enjoyment of Science as we foster their excitement and natural curiosity of the world around them. We strive to develop their knowledge and understanding of important scientific ideas, processes and skills and encourage them to relate these to their everyday experiences whilst developing their questioning skills.  We teach children different ways of thinking, how to find out things and how to communicate their ideas effectively, through practical learning. We strive to make the children confident learners, to explore values and ideas through Science
