Our Key Stage 3 Science programmes are designed for our pupils:

  • To have a well-informed awareness of the role and importance of science in everyday life.
  • To develop methodical and analytical approaches to problem solving.
  • To develop the ability to investigate new situations and ask appropriate questions.
  • To develop practical skills, including the ability to plan and carry out investigations.

Skills and Capabilities

At the heart of the curriculum lies an emphasis on the development of skills and capabilities for life-long learning and for contributing effectively to society.  These whole curriculum skills and capabilities consist of the Cross-Curricular Skills and Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities.  They are embedded and infused throughout the revised Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stage 3 and pupils should have opportunities to acquire, develop and demonstrate these skills in Science.

The Cross-Curricular skills of Communication, Using Mathematics, and Using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) are skills through which young people access knowledge.

The ability to think both critically and creatively and to develop personal and inter-personal skills and dispositions is essential for functioning effectively in a changing world. Therefore, the development of Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities (TS&PC) is at the heart of the revised curriculum.
