At Brook Field, we give children a range of scientific experiences to enable them to raise their own questions about the world around them. We promote scientific enquiry, exploration and curiosity through a multi- sensory, cross-curricular approach to engage, excite and motivate.

Children experience objectives in line with the National Curriculum (2014) ensuring that they have covered both the ‘Knowledge and Understanding’ and ‘Working Scientifically’ objectives. ‘Working Scientifically’ specifies the understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science for each year group and is taught alongside Knowledge and Understanding.

We want our children to look at the world as a scientist, aiming to develop the following areas:

• Scientific knowledge and understanding through the teaching of biology, chemistry and physics.
• The understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them.
• The ability to question, hypothesise, predict, observe, test ideas, find solutions, measure and evaluate evidence.
• The scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
• The ability to be curious about the world, be open-minded and evaluate results critically.
• The ability to use a wide range of oracy skills and scientific vocabulary when discussing their work.
