Science

Science at Castle Hill teaches our pupils the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to question and understand concepts and phenomena that occur in the world around them. We endeavour to equip pupils with the motivation to seek explanations for these. Pupils learn the skills required for scientific enquiry and they begin to appreciate the way science will affect their future on a personal, national and global level.

The aims of science are to enable pupils to:

Ask and answer scientific questions
Plan and carry out fair scientific investigations, using a range of equipment including computers
Know and understand the life processes of living things
Know and understand the physical processes of materials, electricity, light, sound and natural forces
Know about materials and their properties
Evaluate evidence and present their conclusions clearly and accurately
