Practical investigation lies at the heart of learning in the Science Lab. Children begin using the space from Pre-Reception, where cooking and experimenting with ingredients introduce early scientific thinking through real, memorable experiences. As pupils progress, they continue to build knowledge through practical learning, questioning, predicting, observing and explaining as they explore the physical, chemical and biological world. Access to specialist equipment allows ideas to be tested through meaningful experiments, while pupils learn to work carefully, record accurately and discuss evidence with others. This lively and rigorous approach nurtures curiosity and lays strong foundations for later scientific study.
