Kingswood Primary School
"Opportunity, Enjoyment, Excellence"
Science
At Kingswood School, we aim to provide children with the foundations of understanding the world through the different disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. We develop our understanding of processes, nature and methods of science through different types of science enquiries. Our curriculum is designed to have a clear vocabulary progression so that children are able to accurately use relevant scientific language. We love investigations, when we are able teach the children to work scientifically by asking questions, making careful observations, performing tests, recording data to help answer questions, identifying similarities and differences and identifying scientific evidence to support arguments. Each class will undertake investigations which have links to the main theme of the topic that is being covered during that term.
We are lucky to have strong links with our local secondary school, Katherine Lady Berkeley. Through joint events, we have been able to visit their laboratories and take part in some extremely exciting experiments.
