Science Tuition
"I was really worried about my Chemistry results at GCSE. I needed, at least, a grade 4 or above to progress onto A-level."I contacted Global Learners who were very quick to asses my needs and put a plan in place. I really enjoyed the sessions. I was really happy to get a grade 8 in the final exam!"

The Scientific area of learning is concerned with increasing pupils’ knowledge and understanding of our world, and with developing skills associated with Science as a process of enquiry. It will develop the natural curiosity of the child, encourage respect for living organisms and the physical environment and provide opportunities for critical evaluation of evidence.
At Global Learners Academy, in conjunction with the aims of the National Curriculum, our Science teaching offers opportunities for children to:
develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics
develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of Science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them
be equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of Science, today and for the future
develop the essential scientific enquiry skills to deepen their scientific knowledge
use a range of methods to communicate their scientific information and present it in a systematic, scientific manner, including I.C.T., diagrams, graphs and charts
develop a respect for the materials and equipment they handle with regard to their own, and other children’s safety
develop an enthusiasm and enjoyment of scientific learning and discovery
The National Curriculum will provide a structure and skill development for the science curriculum being taught throughout our curriculum, which is now linked, where possible to the theme topics to provide a creative scheme of work, which reflects a balanced programme of study.
The science process skills form the foundation for scientific methods:
Classifying
After making observations it is important to notice similarities, differences, and group objects according to a purpose. It is important to create order to help comprehend the number of objects, events, and living things in the world.
Examples:
The learner will use a magnet to classify objects as magnetic or nonmagnetic.
The learner will use a balance and sort objects according to mass.
The learner will combine different liquids with water to determine which is more or less dense.
Observing
This is the most basic skill in science. Observations are made by using the 5 senses. Good observations are essential in learning the other science process skills.
Examples:
The learner will be blind folded and make observations using the sense of touch.
The learner will create observations about a coin using the 5 senses.
The learner will mix primary colors to create more colours.
Communicating
It is important to be able to share our experiences. This can be done with graphs, diagrams, maps, and spoken word.
Examples:
The learner will create a line graph showing the relationship between speed and the mass of a marble.
The learner will discuss possible errors with other classmates.
Measuring
Measuring is important in collecting, comparing, and interpretting data. It helps us classify and communicate with others. The metric system should be used to help understand the scientific world.
Examples:
The learner will find the mass of different liquids that have the same volume.
The learner will use techonology to find the speed of a toy truck.
The learner will measure the distance a marble travels.
Inferring
An inference is an explanation based on an observation. It is a link between what is observed and what is already known.
Examples:
The learner will write a conclusion at the end of each investigation.
The learner will create inferences about observations they made about a mystery object. I infer it is solid rather than hollow.
Predicting
What do you think will happen? It is an educated guess based on good observations and inferrences about an observed event or prior knowledge.
Examples:
The learner will predict what is a box based on observations using the sense of touch.
The learner will write a hypothesis about the effect of increasing the salt on the boyancy of an egg.
Help with Homework
Daily sessions Monday to Friday 6-7pm and Saturday 11am-12pm
Allow your child to tune in to a qualified teacher who will be on hand to offer support for children in case they have any questions or are not secure with their Maths learning.
