Science and Technology share a common theme and pupils will learn to work safely with their health and well-being in mind. They will develop an understanding of how to use equipment and be able to develop hypotheses while selecting appropriate materials and processes. They will work towards authentic outcomes so that they see Science and Technology as part of the real world they live in. They will develop a broader understanding of the role of science and technology in society; they can be both the problem and the solution to human difficulties and challenges. Within all of this will be a drive to incite curiosity, confidence and the capacity to solve complex problems.

The aim of the year 7 curriculum is to demonstrate the global impact of Science and Technology and how they are intrinsically linked to one another and the other areas of learning. The impact of global issues and the solutions that Science and Technology have to these issues is fundamental to year 7. As well as developing knowledge and understanding of the world around it also aims to develop the investigative skills required.

Each module of work has a pupil checklist. These include off the topics studied during the module.
