Science

At Crossdale, our vision for science is for all children to develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding. All children will develop understanding of nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them and to be equipped with the scientific knowledge and vocabulary required to understand the uses and implications of science today and for the future.

The children learn to work as scientists, asking scientific questions, using precise scientific vocabulary, and planning and undertaking practical investigations. 

Science is taught through specific subject lessons which build and revisit knowledge as the children progress through school.
