About Science
Science at Blueberry Park is a chance for children to ask questions about the world around them and explore these. Children undertake practical investigations in groups and record their findings in different ways. At Blueberry Park, we focus on building working scientifically skills alongside scientific knowledge about life processes and living things, materials and their properties and physical processes. A Blueberry Park Scientist is confident in participating in Science by demonstrating a willingness to challenge their own ideas and those of their peers.
