Skills in science
The science skills outlined at this level are arranged under two headings:
- Working scientifically describes the science skills that children should develop through their scientific investigations
- Designing and making skills will involve pupils in exploring materials, planning designs and making models that will provide solutions to practical problems.
As children work scientifically throughout these strands a broad range of skills will be nurtured and developed in conjunction with the framework of ideas explored in each content area of science.
