Science

In science, pupils will have the opportunity to gain knowledge about:

• the seasons
• All living things (plants, animals and humans) and their habitats
• Evolution and inheritance
• Materials, including every day materials, states and changes of matter.
• Light and sound
• Earth and space
• Forces and magnets
• Electricity

Pupils will be able to develop their skills as scientists by:

• Ask simple questions and recognise that they can be answered in different ways
• Observe closely, using simple equipment
• Making predictions about what they think might happen
• Planning and investigating
• Saying why and how things happen
• Using a range of scientific equipment and resources
• Recording their ideas and findings
• Evaluating their own work and say how this can be improved
