Science in Key Stage 3
Curriculum intent: A strive to develop curiosity in young people, improving ability to engage with the big questions about the world around us, as well as the small ones around how and why things happen.
To develop excellent scientists, but also to engage with the science seen in the everyday world. To improve the ability to think hard and critically evaluate sources, and to question statements made without evidence.
Over time students will learn about the scientific method; how it makes predictions and then test them. Learn to measure and observe accurately, and how to find patterns in data obtained. Develop the skills needed to communicate findings clearly and use these skills in future STEM careers.
Students to be confident learners, not afraid to make mistakes and able to learn from them. Develop their ability to reflect and evaluate learning and ultimately improve outcomes.
At HCC our Key Stage 3 units are based around core questions. These core questions are what we aim to answer and explore through our studies. We have split it into Biology, Chemistry and Physics, but units vary in length to ensure we have diverse content in each unit.
