Science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Science has changed our lives and it is vital to the world's future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. High quality science teaching gives children the opportunity, amongst others, to investigate, question, observe, research and understand the world in which they live.
