Science @ CMS
Ever wondered whether it’s hot air that rises or cold air that falls? Why rainbows are curved? Is the sea blue because it reflects the sky? Why is the sky blue? At Cranborne Middle School, science is based on answering and raising questions that stimulate curiosity and are rooted in real life problems which are relevant to the learners. We take a ‘hands on’ approach to studying the sciences, where the children hypothesise, test out their theories and draw conclusions through engaging and stimulating lessons.
Years 5 and 6 work in tutor groups and gain a solid grounding in the basics of physics, biology, chemistry and scientific enquiry. In Year 7 and 8, the children learn in ability groups, where they are supported and stretched to reach their full potential in our purpose built laboratory.
