Science
At Great Binfields, we believe learning in science is fundamental to understanding the world in which we live. It helps to clarify ideas, to ask questions, to test explanations through measurement and observation, and to use these findings to establish the worth of an idea.
We place a high level of importance on ensuring our pupils are innovative life-long learners in Science.
Our curriculum involves pupils investigating their environment and making sense of it in logical and creative ways. Children at our school learn to choose and use appropriate materials and resources safely. We understand child-led investigations are important to allow children to gain skills in questioning and thinking to further their scientific knowledge. The working scientifically element of the curriculum specifies the understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science for each year group. It has been 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. We aim to build on their natural curiosity encouraging them to observe, make predictions based on those observations, form a hypothesis, plan and carry out investigations and experiments.
