## Science

### Intent

At Hillary, we recognise Science as a subject that incites, awe and wonder, curiosity and discovery. We believe that through a rich and engaging curriculum, our children will thrive and become **aspirational**, competent scientists providing them with the **knowledge** of a strong understanding of the world around them.

Through quality first teaching, we aim to inspire the children to ask questions, seek answers and be **inquisitive** about natural phenomena.

Our curriculum provides a comprehensive progression of skills in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Our children will be encouraged to build on their prior knowledge and skills to **articulate** their ideas clearly encouraging them to use technical vocabulary accurately and precisely.

Hillary will teach a range of engaging topics in which children will investigate scientific phenomena in the real world: the children will be exposed to looking at scientists who have impacted the world and what makes them **unique**.

Overall, the rich and inspiring curriculum will allow the children to **thrive** in our world. It will allow them to experience things first hand and develop their love of science, creating well-versed citizens who have love and respect for the world around them.
