Science  

 

At Hawkedale, children are encouraged to think and work scientifically, which is at the heart of every science topic. The children are taught to ask questions and to develop and evaluate explanations through experimental evidence and modelling. 

Alongside the acquisition of scientific knowledge and the understanding of concepts, the children learn to question and discuss science-based issues that are of significance now and for the future. 

Our science curriculum provides opportunities for children to: 

• extend, use and apply their maths and literacy skills 
• develop knowledge and understanding of important scientific ideas, processes and skills, and relate these to everyday experiences 
• learn about ways of thinking and ways of finding out about and communicating ideas 
• explore values and attitudes through science
