How We Teach Science
How We Teach Science
At Wincham, we bring Science to life through a hands-on, enquiry-based approach. We ensure every child progresses by focusing on:
Practical Exploration: Regular experiments that develop "Working Scientifically" skills.
Key Vocabulary: Building a Science Lexicon to help children explain complex ideas clearly.
Outdoor Learning: Using our school grounds in Northwich to study habitats, plants, and seasonal changes.
Our Method: We start with a "Big Question" each lesson, encouraging pupils to lead their own investigations and find the answers.
