​Science is taught throughout the partnership using the Plymouth Science Scheme, which provides a clear, progressive and engaging approach to developing pupils’ scientific knowledge, skills and understanding. Lessons are carefully planned to build on prior learning and cover the key areas of the National Curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to be curious, ask questions, make predictions and investigate the world around them through practical, hands-on activities and scientific enquiry. They develop important skills such as observing, measuring, classifying, recording results and drawing conclusions, while learning to use appropriate scientific vocabulary. The scheme also provides opportunities for pupils to apply their knowledge to real-life contexts and develop a deeper understanding of how science influences the world in which they live.
