• Think of our own questions and work together to find answers to them

• Have fun and are excited about science in lessons and at home

• Carry out all sorts of different investigations

• Work together in groups and have lots of time to talk about our ideas and findings

• Learn in different parts of the school, outside and on school visits

• Get to decide what we will do and how we will do it

• Get to do ‘real-life’ science to solve ‘real-life’ problems

• Can use our science skills and knowledge to help us in other subjects, or when we use Maths and English skills to help us in science

• Use ICT to help us to investigate

• Get our families and friends involved in science
