Our Science Intention
At Tibberton we aim to nurture a sense of excitement and curiosity about scientific phenomena and the biological, physical and chemical processes and to develop respect, care and appreciation for our natural world. Through the acquisition of key scientific knowledge and the development of Working Scientifically skills children will be able to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse results and causes. They will learn to recognise the power of rational explanation and so understand the uses and implications of science today and for the future.

Top Tips for Parents
Encourage Curiosity
Prompt your child to ask why things happen in the world around Tibberton—weather changes, plants, animals, and everyday objects.
Make Predictions Together
Ask “What do you think will happen if…?” using real-life examples like muddy lanes, icy mornings, or simple kitchen experiments.
Use Correct Scientific Vocabulary
Support learning by using accurate terms such as solid, liquid, gas, evaporate, melt, and stomach.
Link Learning to Local Experiences
Connect school topics to nature walks, fields, village footpaths, and seasonal changes in the local environment.
