Key Stage 1 Science

Learn About The Subject

The Key Stage 1 Science program is a child’s first step into the fascinating world of science. The course nurtures natural curiosity, encouraging students to ask simple questions about the world around them and learn how to find answers through observation, practical activities, and simple experiments. Instead of complex theories, the program focuses on helping students identify plants, animals, familiar materials, and basic natural phenomena, building a scientific thinking foundation from the most relatable experiences.

Common Challenges When Learning Key Stage 1 Science

Difficulty in observing with purpose: Requires practicing the ability to focus on specific details rather than just looking generally.
Challenge in asking simple scientific questions: Requires encouragement to formulate "why" and "how" questions about the surrounding world.
Obstacle with early scientific terminology: Requires becoming familiar with and understanding the meaning of basic vocabulary such as "plant," "animal," "material," "solid," and "liquid."
Hurdle in following simple experimental steps: Requires listening skills, patience, and basic motor skills to follow instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

Key Stage 1 Science

What is Key Stage 1 Science?

This is the Science program under the National Curriculum for England for children aged 5-7 (equivalent to Years 1 and 2). The program focuses on building foundational knowledge about the natural world through practical discovery activities in the three fields of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

What does "Scientific Enquiry" mean at this age?

At this level, "Scientific Enquiry" means learning to ask simple questions, perform simple tests, observe carefully, use simple equipment, and talk about what they have found. It is about nurturing a child's natural curiosity into a basic scientific process.

Does my child need to learn a lot of theory?

Not at all. Key Stage 1 Science emphasizes practical experience and observation. The goal is to build a love for science and foundational understanding through action, rather than memorizing complex theories.

What are the main topics in Key Stage 1 Science?

The core, relatable topics include: Plants, Animals (including Humans), Everyday Materials, and Seasonal Changes.

How does Intertu make Science interesting for young children?

We use dynamic teaching methods such as storytelling, science games, and simple, safe experiments that children can do themselves. The teacher will connect lessons to the child's own experiences (e.g., plants in their garden, pets at home) to make science truly relatable.

Why should my child learn Science in English at an early age?

Early exposure helps them build a foundation of scientific vocabulary in English naturally. This is a huge advantage, enabling them to transition smoothly to more complex science programs at later levels without language barriers.
