Building Blocks for Science
A simple strategy for consistently developing scientific
skills throughout the year
Notes about Building Blocks
Building blocks have been designed to be a simple, systematic way
for ensuring progression in scientific skills
Building blocks have been designed to make the ‘headline’ skills
easy to remember and use for both teachers and pupils
Building blocks are not a complete statement in themselves. You will
have to look for further detail in ‘Scientific Skills Expectations’ for
each year group.
Building blocks have been created by Claire Holt, Primary Science
Consultant, Bradford Achievement Service and Gemma Hargraves,
Thornbury Primary School
