Woodvale Primary School has an innovative and exciting science program delivered by a specialist teacher to students from pre-primary to Year 6. We seek to build on students’ natural curiosity, nurture their sense of wonder and develop their passion for exploring how the world works.
The science content includes the three strands of Science Understanding, Science Inquiry Skills and Science as a Human Endeavour. The three strands of the curriculum are interrelated and their content is taught in an integrated way. Learning and investigations are carried out within the four science understandings - biological science, chemical science, physical science and earth and space sciences.
The Science program also integrates STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) ideas, projects and activities as well as our Sustainability program.
