At Broadbottom CE (VC) Primary school, we encourage pupils to be inquisitive through questioning, exploration, research and application. The Science curriculum, based around the National Curriculum fosters a healthy curiosity in children about our universe and promotes respect for the living and non-living. We are committed to providing a stimulating, engaging and challenging learning environment.

The teaching of science is based on Kapows curriculum which is based on:

• Scientific knowledge and understanding: observing, studying and explaining the physical world.
• Working scientifically: using different methods of scientific enquiry to understand the world around us.
• Science in action: how science can be used and its impact on our day-to-day lives

Throughout our school pupils are encouraged to develop and use a range of working scientifically skills including:

• Identifying, Grouping and Classifying
• Hypothesizing
• Observation over Time
• Research
• Pattern Seeking
• Problem Solving
• Comparative and Fair Testing
