Science
Science is an important subject no matter what you decide to do in life. Knowledge about the underlying science of climate change informs how we react to the crisis and, ultimately, drives the economics and politics that affect us all.
Knowing how The Earth functions helps us to be better informed about how to make use of, as well as conserve, limited natural resources.
Science helps us to understand how, as well as why, things work. At school, we learn about the world around us, our environment, as well as how Nature’s cycles can affect the weather, climate and The Seasons. We learn about technology and can examine objects, relating their function to the underlying science. We are curious and want to understand. Science gives us the ability to develop new concepts, problem-solve and make reasoned decisions through critical questioning and healthy scepticism.
Science is also a stepping-stone to many professional careers, not just in the area of science but in any career that demands critical and logical thinking, problem solving and informed decision making.
The Science Journey
KS2 Science
Students develop and build on foundation topics in Science. They learn about the Living World, Human Body, Materials. Forces, Light, Sound and Electricity. They will also learn about Earth and Space and the role played by famous scientists
KS3 Science
Students develop a deeper understanding of scientific ideas and the connections between the three Science subject areas and gain awareness of the big ideas that underpin scientific knowledge. Students are encouraged to develop an appreciation of the Scientific Method and use it to test hypotheses.
KS4 Science
Key ideas developed at this key stage include the use of conceptual models. Students learn that any effect is due to one or more causes and that change is driven by interactions between different objects and systems. Students learn to apply observational, practical, modelling, enquiry, problem-solving and mathematical skills in their studies.
