The Science curriculum at Abram Bryn Gates is underpinned by the Programme of Study set out by the government in the revised National Curriculum 2013 and EYFS 2014.
The development of key scientific knowledge and concepts is developed through a variety of practical learning experiences using both the immediate and the wider environment. These experiences are designed to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about the world. When first-hand experience is not possible use secondary resources to answer their questions about the world around them.
Children work scientifically to find answers to science questions through collecting, analysing and presenting data. This enables them to apply their mathematical knowledge to develop their understanding of data collected. As part of their science work our aim is also to build up the children’s ability to use technical terminology precisely and accurately.
