Science begins in the Early Years with simple investigations and close observations of the world around us. This approach is continued throughout Key Stage 1 with a gradual introduction of recording skills and the extension of the children’s ability to use scientific language to describe their findings and to ask “Why?” and “How?”. During Key Stage 2 the children are becoming more familiar with scientific concepts and are encouraged to make predictions, record findings and choose the right equipment for the investigations of a more complex nature. All children are encouraged to develop enquiring minds and to play an active part in the discovery of their world and how it evolved.
