What is the role of a year 1 teacher in science?
Provide experiences in a fun, practical, play-based way, mirroring the reception classroom environment, but also to provide more formal opportunities to record ideas, record results and draw conclusions.
This can be achieved by working with small groups of children to develop their working scientifically skills, building on the practical play that they have experienced. This will help the children to think more formally about the science they do.
