Science is an exciting and very important subject. Every part of our lives – health, materials and engineering – relies on Scientific understanding. Science can be separated into three main subjects:
Biology – the study of living organisms and their environment.
Chemistry – how substances react and how we can make new useful materials.
Physics – how objects interact with each other as well as electricity, space etc.
All three subjects are taught in every year in different combinations. For more information click on the relevant link above to take you to that Key Stage.
Science Concepts Curriculum
Science Concepts Curriculum
As a core subject in the curriculum we recognise how important it is to ensure students make progression year on year. To facilitate this we are developing a Concept-based Curriculum in Science. We have identified key concepts (Themes) in Biology, Chemistry and Physics:
B1 Cells and cellular processes
B2 Biological systems for life
B3 Organisms and their environment
C1 Materials and their properties
C2 Chemical changes
C3 Our earth and its atmosphere
P1 Energy
P2 Forces and fields
P3 Matter and materials
Our aim is to restructure the curriculum so that students and parents can see more clearly how progress is being made in each Concept, and how the ideas in each Concept develop all the way from Year 7 to Year 13.
