SCIENCE

       "Science is all around us, like a sea, from the tiniest grain of sand to the mighty universe. Jump in and learn!"

Science at Eskdale is fun. In as many lessons as possible we learn by experimenting and by investigating. Some of our work involves books but all the time we arte learning about the wonder of science and how it fits into our daily lives. Here are some of the topics we look into divided up by years

Plenty to go at in well-equipped laboratories with well qualified and experienced teachers. We are very lucky because we have science teachers who are experienced in all the main sciences, even physics!

 

Our results in the National Curriculum tests show us in the top 10% in the country. We are very proud of our students and what they achieve. You can be part of this success.

Trips and Visits

Every year Science goes out on a visit. Last year we went to Cornwall for a week. We also went to The Life Centre, Planetarium and York University.

Science Club

Every week we hold a science club where you can try experiments we do not have time to fit into our classwork. We run competitions as part of science club and take part in national and local events.

Cross Curricular Days

On cross curricular days science offers the chance to work in small groups on challenging tasks, some inside some outside. There are chances to win prizes.

The World of Science

 

We encourage you to take an interest in Science, not just in your lessons, but also in the World. It is important to try and find out what is going on in the world and how it is changing our lives. We hope you will take a point of view about things using what you learn. This makes us better citizens. Advances in science happen every day, perhaps you will be part of that one day!
