The Importance of Science at Robin Hood Primary School
Science is at the heart of our curriculum at Robin Hood. Through a broad curriculum and engaging teaching, we aim to provide all children with the opportunity to become scientists in their own right. Our children are exposed to the three strands of Science - Biology, Chemistry and Physics - and learn about these through each unit taught.
The Essentials Curriculum sets out in depth objectives, which are followed by each year group, allowing progression through school of skills and knowledge. At the start of each lesson, the children revisit previous learning, as a way of ensuring they are given the opportunity to recall and address prior knowledge and iron out any misconceptions.
Throughout their time at Robin Hood, children cover the following units:
Physics:
- Earth and Space
- Electricity
- Forces and Movement
- Light
- Sound
Chemistry:
- Materials
- States of Matter
- Rocks and Soils
- Changing Materials and States
Biology:
- Animals including Humans
- Plants
- Plants and Animals
- Living Things
- Evolution
- Genetics and Adaptation
Children are given the opportunity to develop their scientific skills in most lessons and use scientific enquiry types as a way of seeking answers to specific questions. Our children know that these skills are the foundation of being a Scientist and that they are transferable to all areas of their learning.
As a school, we provide many opportunities for practical, hands-on learning with the use of the school and local environment, as well as the wider scientific community. We aim to show children all the places a career in Science can take you, and the diverse community of people who work within the field. Our children leave us in year 6 with a sound knowledge of the uses and implications that Science has for today and the future.
