Within Curriculum for Excellence the key concepts have been clearly identified using five organisers.

• Planet Earth
• Forces, electricity and waves
• Biological systems
• Materials
• Topical science

In St Charles’  Primary sciences are taught through topics and stand alone subjects.

This year, St Charles’ Primary have been picked to be part of an exciting partnership with Glasgow Science Centre! The aim of the partnership is to raise the profile of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) with our children, families and communities. STEM is on our school improvement plan this year so this will provide fantastic opportunities for our school! Every class will visit the Science Centre in November. We will be looking for parent helpers. In the New Year the Science Centre on the road crew will visit the school to do pupil workshops, and they will offer a parent & child workshop in February.
