We are looking at how closely this matches the outcomes for a Curriculum for Excellence and adapting our programme accordingly.<\/p>\n The science outcomes are divided into Planet Earth; Forces, Electricity and Waves; Biological Systems; Materials and Topical Sciences. Links with other areas of the curriculum will be further developed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sciences include experiences and outcomes in biological, chemical, physical and environmental contexts.
