It helps children to develop an understanding of the natural world and the processes that govern it. Science education at primary level should develop children\u2019s curiosity, creativity and critical thinking skills.<\/p><div class=\"align wp-block-cornerblocks-csedu-spacer\">\n    \n\n<div class=\"spacer-md\"><\/div>\n        <\/div><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-science-in-primary-education\"><strong>The importance of science in primary education<\/strong><\/h5><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/national-curriculum\">national curriculum<\/a> sets out the knowledge and skills children should acquire in different subject areas at different stages of their education. As a subject leader for science, you should know the national curriculum requirements for the subject very well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/national-curriculum\/key-stage-1-and-2\">You can explore the requirements for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 from gov.uk<\/a>.<\/p><p>Overall, the national curriculum for science in England is designed to provide children with a solid foundation in scientific knowledge and skills. It also develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for children to succeed in further study, and both their personal and professional lives. As a science subject leader, you must ensure that your curriculum covers various scientific topics including the human body, animals, plants, materials, energy, forces and the environment. These topics should be taught through hands-on experiments, investigations and observations.<\/p><p>In addition to teaching scientific concepts, your curriculum must primarily focus on developing children\u2019s scientific skills, including:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>making observations<\/li>\n\n<li>recording data<\/li>\n\n<li>prediction<\/li>\n\n<li>hypothesis testing<\/li>\n\n<li>experimentation<\/li>\n\n<li>data analysis and interpretation<\/li>\n\n<li>critically evaluating evidence<\/li>\n\n<li>making predictions based on evidence.<\/li><\/ul><p>Children should also be encouraged to develop scientific attitudes such as curiosity, open-mindedness and a willingness to change their ideas in light of new evidence. Furthermore, for the knowledge and skills they are learning to have meaning and context, children need to understand how science has developed, its place in society, and the implications of scientific advances for individuals, communities and the environment.<\/p><div class=\"align wp-block-cornerblocks-csedu-spacer\">\n    \n\n<div class=\"spacer-md\"><\/div>\n        <\/div><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-subject-leadership\"><strong>Subject leadership<\/strong><\/h5><p>Leading primary science requires a deep understanding of the subject, the ability to inspire and motivate learners and the skills to lead a team of teachers to deliver high-quality science education.<\/p><p>Here are some critical strategies for leading <a href=\"https:\/\/cornerstoneseducation.co.uk\/cornerstones-curriculum\/single-subject-curriculums\/science-curriculum\/\">primary science<\/a>:<\/p><div class=\"align wp-block-cornerblocks-csedu-spacer\">\n    \n\n<div class=\"spacer-xs\"><\/div>\n        <\/div><p><strong>Develop a clear vision: <\/strong>As a science leader, it\u2019s essential to have a clear vision for what you want to achieve regarding science education in your school.
