Science
In Science, we study nature and the behaviour of natural things.
The Science curriculum has been planned to:
- Allow application of learning across the subject: for example: in Year 1 children will learn to identify the basic structure of a plant in order to apply this in Year 3 when learning to identify the functions of the parts of a plant. Throughout the Science curriculum opportunities for learning to be applied outside of units have been identified, which will provide pupils with the opportunity to make links to prior learning and embed knowledge into their long term memory for example: children in Year 4 can use their prior knowledge about plants to support them to group and classify living things.
- Allow overlearning of key concepts in other subjects. For example: electricity and circuits are taught as part of our Science, DT and Computing curriculums. These are planned in at different times to allow overlearning and application of learning in other subjects.
- Opportunities to revisit learning. Essential core Science knowledge has been identified and is revisited during ‘Flash Back Friday’ sessions. These are keeping skills session where we revisit core knowledge from across a range of subjects to commit to long term memory.
- Reflect National Association guidance. Mendell Primary has written the Science curriculum using resources from the Association for Science Education (ASE) and recommended STEM lesson materials. ASE are a membership organisation providing advice, support and training for those involved in teaching Science.
Each of these objectives are outlined and planned respectively in our Science long term plans, progression maps, whole school plans, Science memory flash points and lastly our Science medium term plans.
For further information, please contact our Science lead Mrs Bride via the school office.
The lead governor for science is Mrs Parkin.
