Principles of science

·   Developing subject knowledge and understanding of curriculum content

·   Using correctly scientific vocabulary

·   Adults modelling using correct scientific vocabulary in correct context

·   Ongoing assessment to meet the needs of all children in our class

·   Foster curiosity and build on children’s interests

·   Practical learning to build on the subject knowledge in order to embed understanding of the scientific curriculum

·   Opportunities for children to promote deeper thinking through focussing on key areas of working scientifically

·   Build up an understanding of modern and historical scientists and how they influence what we know today.

Inspire children by meeting scientists and engineers who work within STEM subjects and discuss how they are used within the workplace.

Enrich children’s love of science/STEM through extra-curricular activities or development opportunities through school based tasks.
