Not all of the Science will take part in the classroom. The school grounds provide an excellent environment for work on friction, flight, food chains, habitats and interdependence.

The ultimate aim of this subject is to foster a love of learning, an appreciation for a rigorous style of logical thinking and enhanced respect for the natural world.
