Redesdale Primary School

SCIENCE

Science stimulates and excites children’s curiosity about phenomena and events that are happening in the world around them. It links direct practical knowledge with ideas and can engage learners at many levels. Through Science, children gain a range of transferable critical thinking skills and come to understand how major scientific ideas contribute to technological change, and how this can have an impact on industry, business and medicine. Children learn to ask scientific questions and begin to appreciate the way in which Science will affect the future on a personal, national and global level.

At Redesdale Primary School, children are given appropriate learning opportunities so that they develop the skills needed to be active citizens within an increasingly scientific world. Science is a powerful and useful tool through which children’s understanding of the world around them is carefully developed. It is our aim to create a challenging environment that raises standards of achievement in Science through high quality teaching and learning. Children build up their scientific skills and knowledge, developing the necessary ability to investigate, question and understand scientific concepts.
