The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries is not ‘Eureka!’ but ‘that’s funny….’

Isaac Asimov

Science stimulates and excites pupils’ curiosity about phenomena and events in the world around them. It also satisfies this curiosity with knowledge. Because science links direct practical experience with ideas, it can engage learners at many levels.

Scientific method is about developing and evaluating explanations through experimental evidence and modelling. This is a spur to critical and creative thought. Through science, pupils understand how major scientific ideas contribute to technological change – impacting on industry, business and medicine and improving quality of life.

Pupils recognise the cultural significance of science and trace its worldwide development. They learn to question and discuss science-based issues that may affect their own lives, the direction of society and the future of the world.

Inline with the new primary curriculum our science scheme follows the broad areas of physics, chemistry and biology strands with exciting science topics such as Earth Rocks! We are Evolving! and How does your garden grow? The standard of our science is very high at Aston and Cote.
