Introduction

Welcome to Stage 7 of Science. We hope this book will show you how interesting and exciting science

can be.
Science is everywhere. Everyone uses science every day. Can you think of examples of science that

you have seen or used today?

Have you ever wondered about any of these questions?
• What am I made of?

• Where do all the dead plants, animals and their waste disappear to?
• Why does frozen water behave differently to liquid water?

• What happens in a chemical reaction?

• What is electricity?
• How did the planets form around the Sun?

You will work like a scientist to find answers to these questions and

more. It is good to talk about science as you investigate and learn.
You will share your ideas with classmates to help them understand,

and listen to them when you need reassurance. You will reflect on

what you did and how you did it, and ask yourself: ‘would I do
things differently next time?’

You will practise new skills and techniques, check your progress
and challenge yourself to find out more.

You will make connections between the different sciences and

how they link to maths, English and other subjects.
We hope you enjoy thinking and working like

a scientist.
