Biology is learning about living things and their environments.        

Chemistry is learning about what materials are made of what they are used for and how they can change.

Physics is learning about energy and how things move.

Science is taught through motivating and engaging half term units such as ‘Let’s Grow!’ ‘The Chemistry Kitchen’ and ‘Danger: Low Voltage!’ Science units are built on the following teaching sequence:
