Studying Science is a way of investigating, understanding and explaining our world.  This involves learning about the Material world (Chemistry), the Living world (Biology), the Physical world (Physics) and Planet Earth & Beyond (Earth and Space Science).

Alongside content learning there are a variety of skills that is used in science learning which are just as important to learners in the 21st century:

 

  • making observations and asking questions (being curious)

  • investigating (both practical and through research)              

  • communicating understanding (both orally and written)

  • evaluating evidence
