In accordance with the guidance in the National Curriculum, Kapow has clearly indicated a progression in the key scientific knowledge and concepts, from Reception to Year 6. Each unit clearly indicates the aspects of knowledge to be developed. Where appropriate, the unit will indicate the ‘learning journey’; i.e. where the knowledge and concepts of that particular unit fit within the learning as the child progresses through primary school. The school uses a spiral curriculum so you will see some units are revisited throughout their school journey. 

Scientific vocabulary

Each unit of study contains a section outlining the most appropriate scientific vocabulary to be used when studying that particular area of science. This will help children to become familiar with, and use, technical terminology accurately and precisely.

Recording

There are suggestions throughout every unit as to how the children could record their learning. Consideration has been given to not just how they will record, but also the reason for recording in each of the different instances.
