Science 

At Steephill School, our science scheme is designed to provide an engaging and practical curriculum that empowers students to develop a deep understanding of the world around them. Our aim is to inspire a sense of curiosity and wonder in all pupils, encouraging them to explore scientific concepts through hands-on experiences and inquiry-based learning.

The curriculum is structured to cover key scientific disciplines. Through a progression of carefully planned topics, pupils will develop a solid foundation in core scientific concepts while honing essential skills such as observation, experimentation, data analysis, and communication.

In Key Stage 1, pupils explore topics such as plants, animals including humans, materials, and everyday forces. As they progress into Key Stage 2, they delve deeper into subjects such as living things and their habitats, earth and space, electricity, light, and properties and changes of materials. Pupils also investigate the forces of gravity, friction, and levers, as well as the human body systems in more detail. Each topic is designed to encourage curiosity, deepen knowledge, and promote critical thinking through practical experiments and engaging, real-world applications.
