Curriculum Overview
The Progression Framework for Science is divided into two parts: Progression in Concepts and Working Scientifically:
Progression in concepts is based on the statements relating to key ideas in the Science National Curriculum. It is split into Biology, Chemistry and Physics; within each of these a number of ‘big ideas’ have been identified and used to show how later statements progress from earlier ones. Working Scientifically is based on the main skill areas which are viewed as processes (e.g. planning investigations, reporting findings). Each of these is then subdivided into individual skills.
Below is our Curriculum Overview showing how we develop progression of concepts and skills through the year groups. These units, concepts and scientific skills are implemented from the planning and progression documents from Rising Stars - 'Switched- On Science' Curriculum.
