Science

Pupils in years 3 and 4 will be given a range of scientific experiences to enable them
to raise their own questions about the world around them. We will start to make
our own decisions about the most appropriate type of scientific enquiry that we might use
to answer questions; recognise when a simple fair test is necessary and help to decide
how to set it up; talk about criteria for grouping, sorting and classifying; and use simple
keys. We will also begin to look for naturally occurring patterns and relationships and
decide what data to collect to identify them. We will help to make decisions about
what observations to make, how long to make them for and the type of simple
equipment that might be used.
