Scholar Green Primary & Nursery SchoolScience In Action
Mr Durham is the subject leader for Science. This is what he says about his subject.
I am proud to be the science subject leader at Scholar Green Primary School. The three strands of learning within the science curriculum of Biology, Chemistry and Physics has something to offer all enquiring young minds. From investigating the optimum conditions for plant growth, to our place in space, the primary science curriculum sows the seeds for the next generation of farmers to astronauts - electricians to laboratory technicians. The science curriculum is taught in a practical and engaging manner, allowing time for self-discovery of the fundamental scientific concepts.
At Scholar Green Science is:
Super fun.
Cool.
Interesting!
Exciting things!

SCIENCE
At Scholar Green we recognise that Science is concerned with children finding out about the world in which they live. It aims to stimulate a child’s curiosity in finding out why things happen in the way they do. It teaches methods of enquiry and investigation to stimulate creative thought. Attitudes such as curiosity, perseverance and co-operation are also encouraged. Children learn to ask scientific questions and begin to appreciate the way in which science will affect the future.
What are our aims?
Children will be able to:
- ask and answer scientific questions;
- plan and carry out scientific investigations, using equipment correctly and know the different skills involved in working scientifically;
- know and understand the life processes of living things;
- know and understand the physical processes of materials, electricity, light, sound, and natural forces;
- know about the nature of the solar system, including the earth;
- evaluate evidence, and present their conclusions clearly and accurately.
