Science

Science and its practical application in healthcare and industry is central to our economic future, for our health and wellbeing as individuals and as a society.

Through the study of science, children will experience the opportunity to investigate their environment by observing, exploring, investigating and recording. They will be helped to recognise the impact science makes on their lives, on lives of others, on the environment and on culture. The science outcomes are in seven areas, although there will be inter connections between them.

• Planet Earth
• Forces, electricity and waves
• Biological Systems
• Materials
• Topical Science

Skills, knowledge and understanding will be developed progressively through all of these areas.
