Science
Our Curriculum Intent
- The Science department will bring out the best by inspiring students to develop their curiosity, relating scientific concepts taught in the classroom, to enquire about the world around them
- This will enable all our young people to consider the impact of their decisions and become responsible citizens
- To think like a Scientist is to ask questions, think methodically, solve problems and evaluate evidence
- Science is important because without questioning how things around us work, society cannot develop
Why we study Science:
- It helps develop our understanding of the world around us and our problem solving skills
- Our aim is to inspire students to develop their curiosity of scientific concepts and therefore enquire about the world around them
