Science
We harness children’s natural curiosity about the world around them by encouraging them to be inquisitive and excited for future possibilities in science. We aim to equip children with the scientific knowledge and practical skills in science to enable them to adapt and flourish in an increasingly scientific world both today and in the future.

Science at Marlfields

INTENT Our Marlfields Scientists are inspired to learn about the impact Science can have on the world we live in and our understanding of it. Our Scientists are excited to explore and test new concepts and to answer their own questions and further explore the theories of others.

That is how our curriculum works, each unit has a key question threading throughout  and a key investigation the children must complete.  Our children are encouraged to think like scientists. Why? Because they are scientists. In lessons we might ask questions, predict, observe, identify, research, test, evaluate and make conclusions. We do all this to develop our scientific knowledge and skills. Our curriculum is progressive, it builds upon existing knowledge and moves through the three scientific strands of biology, chemistry and physics, with the concept of scientific enquiry threading through all units. We want our children to ask questions about the world around them, the one they live in.  Science is taught every week and each lesson is between one and two hours.
