Curriculum Intent
Science at St Lawrence C of E Primary School develops investigative, evaluative and inquiry skills. We make links to how these skills support people in a range of careers using content from Developing Experts. We aim to provide foundational knowledge, methods, processes, and uses of science by developing a curiosity and excitement about natural phenomena. Through practical experiments and experiences pupils are encouraged to observe, notice, record, evaluate and draw conclusions using increasing scientific vocabulary. This helps them to predict and explain how things may behave and analyse causes.
