Science

This unit gives children the opportunity to star-gaze by learning more about the Earth and the celestial bodies in our solar system. Starting with an exploration of each planet - from Mercury to Neptune - this unit then explores how scientific ideas surrounding Earth's movement and placement have changed and developed over time. The children will complete an assortment of fascinating Mission Assignments - such as making a papier-mache model of the solar system - to deepen their understanding of the Moon, time zones and the night and day cycle. 

Developing Experts works closely with industry with the goal of ensuring that career choice is no longer left to chance and we are committed to connecting talent to local opportunity. The Gatsby Benchmarks, therefore, permeate our curriculum and careers library.
