How do we teach Science at Fleckney School?

Aim

Our aims in Science for our children are:

• To develop enquiring minds and a curiosity for scientific knowledge and the natural world.

• To acquire and develop the necessary knowledge, understanding and investigative skills in order to take part in scientific enquiry and arrive at a solution or conclusion.

• To forge meaningful connections between STEM in the classroom.
