Science at Selwyn 

Curriculum intent

Curriculum implementation

In the Early Years, Science learning is interwoven through different topics and Planned, Purposeful Play.  Further detail is provided on the slides below.

In Years 1 – 6:

  • The curriculum is taught through weekly lessons which develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding 
  • Lesson plans develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help the children to answer scientific questions about the world around them.
  • Opportunities of ‘working scientifically’ are embedded within the content of biology, chemistry and physics, focusing on the key features of scientific enquiry, so that pupils learn to use a variety of approaches to answer relevant scientific questions.
  • These types of scientific enquiry include: observing over time; pattern seeking; identifying, classifying and grouping; comparative and fair testing (controlled investigations); and researching using secondary sources.
  • Planning includes examples of the key scientific language that children should be familiar with, and use, accurately and precisely.
