Introduction
Welcome to the Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework. This framework provides a comprehensive set of progressive learning objectives for science. The objectives detail what the learner should know or what they should be able to do in science in each year of primary education. They provide a structure for teaching and learning and a reference against which learners’ ability and understanding can be checked. The Cambridge Primary Science curriculum is presented in four content areas: Scientific enquiry, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning investigative work and recording and analysing data. The Scientific enquiry objectives underpin Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which are focused on developing confidence and interest in scientific knowledge. Environmental awareness and some history of science are also incorporated. The Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework provides a solid foundation upon which the later stages of education can be built. The Cambridge Curriculum is founded on the values of the University of Cambridge and best practice in schools. The curriculum is dedicated to developing
