Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They should be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes. “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent…It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Charles Darwin “What identifies an inquiry as a scientific inquiry is that it concerns questions about the natural and made world and leads to developing understanding of what there is around us.” Harlen, 2018 ### Science Curriculum Documents Science Long Term Plan 570 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/Science_Long_Term_Overview_2025_2026.docx) KS1 Science Medium Term Plan C1 594 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/MEDIUM_TERM_PLAN_Year_1_and_2_A.docx) LKS2 Medium Term Plan C1 599 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/MEDIUM_TERM_PLAN_Year_3_and_4_A.docx) UKS2 Medium Term Plan 602 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/MEDIUM_TERM_PLAN_Year_5_and_6_A.docx) Click [here](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a806ebd40f0b62305b8b1fa/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_Science.pdf) to view the National Curriculum for Science.
