UK SCIENCE KEY STAGE 3 YR 7,8,9(12-14) OBJECTIVES
Develop a deeper understanding of a range of scientific ideas in the subject disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics
the connections between these subject areas and become aware of some of the big ideas underpinning scientific knowledge and understanding. Examples of these big ideas are the links between structure and function in living organisms, the particulate model as the key to understanding the properties and interactions of matter in all its forms, and the resources and means of transfer of energy as key determinants of all of these interactions.
understand that science is about working objectively, modifying explanations to take account of new evidence and ideas and subjecting results to peer review. Pupils should decide on the appropriate type of scientific enquiry to undertake to answer their own questions and develop a deeper understanding of factors to be taken into account when collecting, recording and processing data. They should evaluate their results and identify further questions arising from them.
Working scientifically
Scientific attitudes
pay attention to objectivity and concern for accuracy, precision, repeatability and reproducibility
understand that scientific methods and theories develop as earlier explanations are modified to take account of new evidence and ideas, together with the importance of publishing results and peer review
-
-
Analysis and evaluation
-
present observations and data using appropriate methods, including tables and graphs
interpret observations and data, including identifying patterns and using observations, measurements and data to draw conclusions
present reasoned explanations, including explaining data in relation to predictions and hypotheses
evaluate data, showing awareness of potential sources of random and systematic error
-
Measurement
