Science at Springfield
At Springfield we believe that science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all children should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science.
Children are naturally curious. Science at Springfield Primary school nurtures this curiosity and allows children to ask questions and develop the skills they need to answer those questions to investigate problems, learn how science works and discover why science matters in the world.
Science is taught on a two year cycle
