Science

"The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, but one who asks the right questions." Claude Lévi-Strauss

 

What does Science look like at St Bernadette’s?

 

At St Bernadette’s, we aim for children to be passionate scientists with excitement and curiosity about the world around them.

In Science, children are encouraged to be inquisitive of scientific ideas through exploring and asking pertinent questions. Children are given the opportunity to carry out scientific investigations and build on their working scientifically skills by learning to explore, problem solve, observe, predict, think and make decisions about the world around them. They will explore creatures, people, plants and objects in their natural environments and develop enquiring minds so that they are increasingly able to research answers to their own questions. Learning about Science is done through first hand experiences with the appropriate use of secondary sources, such as books, photographs and videos. Children are immersed in scientific vocabulary, which is taught across the curriculum through practical activities, discussion and through texts.

So far, we have learnt about the functions of different teeth and are currently observing the effects of different liquids on our teeth. We will record our observations over a 5-day period to see how the different liquids effects the egg shells.
