Science is part of our STEM Team.
Our Science Lead is Miss Peake.
At Butterstile we aim to:
- Teach science in a way that triggers curiosity and questioning (from our children) about the world around us.
- Challenge and inspire children to find out more; make predictions, observe what is happening, investigate ideas or concepts and interpret what they have found out.
- Ensure all pupils are taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science across the three disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
- Ensure that children have a good understanding of the methods and processes of different types of scientific enquiry to help them answer specific questions about the world around them.
- Embed a confident use specialist science vocabulary to enable them to explain their understanding and make interpretations of their practical experiences.
- Provide opportunities for children to apply their mathematical knowledge to their understanding of science, including collecting, presenting and analysing data.
- Link children’s learning and understanding to the wider curriculum through our Termly Themes and our Big Question. Children see science as a way of understanding the world around them, making predictions about what may happen and analysing why events may have happened.
