This term, our science focuses on developing the children's understanding of a wide range of physical phenomena, including light, sound, heat, electricity, magnetism, waves, forces, and motion.
Each week the children will explore a different topic and begin to understand the physical world science concepts. Their journey of discovery will allow them to see how vital these scientific concepts are. We love teaching our students about science and helping them understand how scientists work. These experiences help develop the skills, attitudes, and values to build a foundation for understanding the world. They come to appreciate that while scientific knowledge is durable, it is also constantly re-evaluated in the light of new evidence. They learn how scientists carry out investigations by doing their own and they come to see science as a socially valuable knowledge system. The children will begin to understand how scientific ideas are communicated and make links between scientific knowledge and everyday decisions and actions.
We know that the children are going to love science this term. Room 8 children loved learning about heat and how to use a thermomoter.
