Science

At Safety Bay Primary School, students receive Science instruction from a Specialist teacher in a purpose-built Science Room.

Each term, the program focuses on a different Science Understanding Strand from the Western Australian Science Curriculum. This approach enables students to develop a strong knowledge base in the biological, chemical, physical, and Earth and Space sciences. They learn to select and apply scientific knowledge and methods to explain various phenomena, adapt their understanding to new contexts, and recognise the evolving nature of scientific knowledge.

The Science program at Safety Bay Primary School aims to cultivate a deep interest in Science among students. The program fosters curiosity, a desire to explore, and an eagerness to ask questions about the changing world around them. It provides opportunities for students to grasp science concepts and processes, understand how scientific knowledge is developed, and appreciate science's role in our culture and society. Additionally, the curriculum equips students with the scientific knowledge, understanding, and skills needed to make informed decisions about local, national, and global issues and to pursue science-related careers if they choose.

Learning Science at Safety Bay Primary School is a valuable pursuit in its own right. Our students can experience the joy of scientific discovery and nurture their natural curiosity about the world around them, setting themselves up as lifelong critical and creative thinkers.
