Summary

A subject knowledge session where we will focus on the progression of a biology topic through the years.

The afternoon session will focus on understanding what we mean by Working Scientifically and how these skills develop. This session will consider disciplinary knowledge and the 5 different types of scientific enquiry and how they develop from EYFS to Y6.  Teachers will consider how to successfully match the most appropriate enquiry type to each unit, to ensure a variety of enquiry types are covered throughout the year.
