Science

At St. Margaret’s we aim to:

• stimulate and excite the pupils’ curiosity about changes and events in the world;
• satisfy this curiosity with knowledge;
• engage pupils as learners at many levels through linking ideas with practical experience;
• help pupils to learn to question and discuss scientific issues that may affect their own lives;
• help pupils develop, model and evaluate explanations through scientific methods of collecting evidence using critical and creative thought;
• show pupils how major scientific ideas contribute to technological change and how this impacts on improving the quality of our everyday lives
