Science at Grange Primary School

At Grange we aim to provide a curriculum that inspires and encourages our children to explore and ask questions about the world around them. Science is taught both practically and theoretically to ensure all of our children can access the curriculum. Through weekly lessons, practical investigations, trips, workshop and science weeks we aim to motivate and enthuse our children to adopt a love of learning. As a school we follow the Kent Scheme of work for Science. Through the curriculum children are taught how to ‘work scientifically’ through the content of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Children learn to use a variety of approaches to answer relevant scientific questions.  They will do this by asking questions, collecting and analysing data, developing explanations, solving problems and seeking and using evidence to test their ideas. These types of scientific enquiry include:

  • observing over time
  • pattern seeking
  • identifying, classifying and grouping
  • comparative and fair testing (controlled investigations)
  • researching using secondary sources.

Early Years 

In Nursery and Reception, science is taught by encouraging children with their ‘Understanding of the World.’ Children learn through hands-on inquiry and discussion of how and why things work. Children are given the opportunity to make observations and ask questions about various areas of the world. Children learn about the similarities and difference among people, places, objects, materials, and living things. They discuss the characteristics of their surroundings and how they differ from one another. children also learn how to carry out observations of plants and animals and discuss the changes.


Key Stage One

KS1 Children will develop their working scientifically skills to answer questions through exploring everyday materials, conducting observations over time, recording changes and taking measurements. Pupil’s in Year One will learn about seasonal changes by observing and carrying out research. They will begin to sort and classify animals including features of humans, everyday materials and plants. The topics for Year Two are uses of everyday materials, animals including humans, plants and living things and their habitats. They will observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants, compare everyday materials and will find out about habitats for a range of living things.

Key Stage Two

Children in KS2 will do learn the science curriculum by learning through various units throughout the year. In Year Three these include, investigating forces and magnets, comparing and grouping rocks, observing plants, identifying light and classifying animals including humans.

The topics for Year Four are animals including humans, investigating sound and electricity using specialist equipment, observing states of matter and researching living things and their habitats. Year Five are sorting and classifying properties and changes of materials, investigating animals including humans, observing forces, researching living things and the habitats and Earth and Space by seeking patterns and recording events.

The topics for Year Six are testing light and electricity, exploring evolution and inheritance, classifying and sorting living things and their habitats and researching animals including humans.
