- Working scientifically
- 2. Experimental skills and strategies
- 1. Development of scientific thinking
- understand how scientific methods and theories develop over time
- use a variety of models such as representational, spatial, descriptive, computational and mathematical to solve problems, make predictions and to develop scientific explanations and understanding of familiar and unfamiliar facts
- appreciate the power and limitations of science and consider any ethical issues which may arise
- explain every day and technological applications of science; evaluate associated personal, social, economic and environmental implications; and make decisions based on the evaluation of evidence and arguments
- evaluate risks both in practical science and the wider societal context, including perception of risk in relation to data and consequences
