We can be scientists.

Science at St. Matthews is taught to develop the child’s sense of excitement, curiosity and understanding of the world, with a sense of awe and wonder.

Teaching and learning in biology, physics and chemistry is designed to develop:

• the vocabulary to describe, predict and explain their learning in words and writing

• the knowledge to understand different scientific processes

• the skills to investigate scientific questions practically

• an understanding of how science has changed our lives in the past and how it may shape a healthy and prosperous future

• an awareness of the work of diverse role models in science and technology
