Science Curriculum Statement

Intent

At Kingsmoor Primary, we encourage our children to develop an enquiring mind and analytical thinking skills through an interesting and relevant enquiry-based science curriculum.
​Science continues to change our lives in many different ways and learning about scientific knowledge, methods, processes and uses, provides the foundations for understanding the world in which we live, today and for the future.
We study a varied curriculum which is carefully planned to build on knowledge year by year and covers the three scientific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. 

As a Scientist we will demonstrate:

• The ability to think independently and raise questions about working scientifically and the knowledge and skills that it brings. 
• Confidence and competence in the full range of practical skills, taking the initiative in, for example, planning and carrying out scientific investigations. 
• Excellent scientific knowledge and understanding which is demonstrated in written and verbal explanations, solving challenging problems and reporting scientific findings.
• High levels of originality, imagination or innovation in the application of skills.
• The ability to undertake practical work in a variety of contexts.
• A passion for science and its application in past, present and future technologies.
