Life Cycles
Sequential knowledge There is a strong emphasis on sequential knowledge and children developing specific scientific knowledge and skills in a systematic order. Specific scientific concepts and knowledge have been associated with particular year groups and key stages to ensure progression. Therefore, teachers will need to ensure that children have a good understanding of particular concepts before progressing on to those that build upon these.
Working scientifically The curriculum highlights the need for children to ‘work scientifically’. This requires children to use a range of scientific methods to find out more and to develop their own skills and understanding of scientific processes. Schools need to provide good provisions of support for children using great resources and engaging teaching strategies. So, for example, children need to use a range of measuring equipment to find out more about a particular scientific phenomenon.
