SCIENCE
Science lessons are taught weekly at Birchen Coppice Academy. Each Year group or Phase will have one or two units of Science per term to focus their learning on. At times, the Science will relate contextually to their NICER Curriculum learning challenge, and at other points it will be discrete.
Science focuses on helping pupils practically explore key concepts of understanding the world around us. Children build progressively on both their knowledge of key aspects of biology, physics, chemistry and Earth science, and use Working Scientifically processes to learn how to undertake an experimentation phase of learning, investigating theories that they have learnt.
Our Science overview maps out across the two-year cycle what Science is taught and when.
Our Science Knowledge organisers for the term show the key knowledge that children will be learning in Science.
