Science

Science contributes to Environmental Studies by providing a context for stimulating and encouraging pupils' curiosity to explore and understand the world around them. The knowledge and understanding required for Earth and Space, Energy and Forces and Living Things and the Processes of Life reflect the major areas of scientific investigation and relate directly to children's everyday experiences. Learning in science provides children with a context within which they can develop the skills associated with investigations. Through their application children will learn to deal with more complex concepts and scientific knowledge.
