Science helps children make sense of the world around them. At Kildrum Primary School, we encourage children to be curious, ask questions and explore how things work through exciting, hands-on learning experiences.

Children learn about a wide range of scientific topics, including:

• Living things and the natural world
• Materials and their properties
• Forces, energy and electricity
• The environment and sustainability
• The human body and health

Through science, children develop skills that help them to:

• observe, investigate and experiment
• ask questions and solve problems
• gather and interpret information
• think critically and make informed decisions
• understand how science affects everyday life
• develop teamwork and communication skills

Science learning at Kildrum is active, practical and engaging. Children are encouraged to explore ideas, carry out investigations and share their findings with others.

By developing curiosity, creativity and scientific thinking, we help children gain a deeper understanding of the world around them and prepare them for future learning and life beyond school.
