What is included in the Primary Science Curriculum Pack?

The Science Curriculum Pack provides a complete Science curriculum for Years 1 to 6, with 30 ready-to-teach schemes of work. Each scheme includes detailed lesson plans, teaching slides, differentiated activities and printable resources, alongside curriculum documentation to support whole-school planning, coverage and progression.

Is the Science Curriculum Pack suitable for the whole primary school?

Yes. The curriculum provides a carefully sequenced approach to teaching Science from Year 1 through to Year 6, covering both KS1 and KS2. It is particularly useful for Science subject leaders looking to establish a coherent and consistent whole-school curriculum.

Does the Science Curriculum Pack cover the National Curriculum?

Yes. The schemes are designed to provide coverage of the National Curriculum requirements for Science across KS1 and KS2. Supporting curriculum documentation helps subject leaders see where statutory requirements are addressed and how scientific knowledge and skills develop across Years 1 to 6.

How does the curriculum support progression in Science?

The Curriculum Pack includes knowledge and skills progression documentation showing how children's scientific learning develops throughout the primary years. Children progressively build their subject knowledge while developing their ability to work scientifically, ask questions, investigate, observe, measure, record findings and draw conclusions.

What areas of Science will children learn about?

Across Years 1 to 6, children explore the major areas of primary Science, including plants, animals and humans, living things and their habitats, materials, rocks, light, sound, forces, electricity, Earth and space, and evolution and inheritance. Working scientifically is developed throughout the curriculum rather than being taught as a separate strand.

What is included in each Science scheme of work?

PlanBee Science schemes provide the planning and resources teachers need to deliver each unit, including detailed lesson plans, teaching slides, differentiated activities and printable resources. Teachers can use the schemes as ready-to-teach units or adapt them to suit their pupils, available equipment and school context.

How are the Science schemes organised across Years 1 to 6?

The schemes are organised to provide age-appropriate coverage and progression throughout KS1 and KS2. Topics are positioned across the year groups so that children can revisit and build upon important scientific knowledge, vocabulary and enquiry skills as they progress through primary school.

Can I preview the Science curriculum before purchasing?

Yes. You can preview the Science Curriculum Pack overview before purchasing to see how the schemes are organised across Years 1 to 6, how National Curriculum requirements are covered and the supporting curriculum documentation included with the pack.

Can I adapt the Science curriculum for my school?

Yes. The Curriculum Pack provides a coherent whole-school structure while giving teachers the flexibility to adapt individual lessons and investigations to suit their pupils, timetable, available equipment and your school's approach to teaching Science.

Can I buy the individual Science schemes separately?

Yes. The schemes included in the Science Curriculum Pack are also available individually, so you can purchase particular Science schemes if you do not need a complete Years 1 to 6 curriculum.

Is the Science Curriculum Pack suitable for Science subject leaders?

Yes. Alongside ready-to-teach classroom resources, the pack gives Science subject leaders a clear overview of what is taught across the school, where National Curriculum requirements are covered and how children's scientific knowledge and working scientifically skills progress from Year 1 to Year 6.

How will I receive the Science Curriculum Pack?

The Science Curriculum Pack is a digital resource. After purchasing, you can access and download the included planning, teaching resources and curriculum documentation without waiting for physical materials to be delivered.
