Science
Magic’s just science that we don’t understand yet.
Arthur C. Clarke
We intend to create scientists that love learning about the world we live in. Science teaching at Victoria promotes investigation through observation, experimentation and recording information. We aim to foster curiosity, awe and wonder in our children which results in them asking questions and investigating to discover the answers.
The children have opportunities to develop their understanding of different scientific ideas by using different types of scientific enquiry to answer their own questions. These include observing changes over a period of time, noticing patterns, making links as well as grouping and classifying things.
To achieve this, we aim to teach scientific concepts through the use of first-hand practical experiences, as well as using some appropriate secondary sources, such as books, photographs and videos to support children’s learning.
