Science is finding out about the world. Learn how scientists look, ask, try and share what they find.

Science is in the things we do every day, from washing hands to growing food. Find it and ask questions about it.

We find out about the world with five senses. Learn what each sense does and how to use them safely.

Name objects, say what they are for and describe their parts and features.

Use colour, shape and size words to describe objects clearly.

Compare two objects and say how they are the same and how they are different.

Sort objects into groups using a rule, and learn that the same things can be sorted in different ways.

Learn to ask good science questions with what, why, how and where, and tell which ones we can find out.

Keep a record of what you find out by making clear, labelled science drawings.

Learn simple rules that keep us safe when we do science, and what to do if something goes wrong.
