Cambridge Lower Secondary Science supports learners in developing life-long curiosity about the natural world and enables them to seek scientific explanations to the phenomena around them.
Learners will develop a holistic approach to science by considering scientific thinking and practical skills alongside knowledge and understanding which is vital for explaining the world around us. This approach provides learners with the knowledge and skills they require to access and excel at science in later phases of education and to make informed choices, including considering sustainability issues and meeting the challenges facing our environment.
The addition of a new Science in Context strand supports teachers in demonstrating the relevance of science to learners. Improving learners’ awareness of science in the world around them develops their sense that ‘science is for me’ and starts learners on a journey of connecting themselves to the subject.
