Our Year 2 Science tutors focus on helping students achieve key outcomes, such as identifying celestial objects and recognizing patterns in the sky, understanding how sound is produced, and exploring how materials can be changed physically without altering their composition. We guide students in making observations, asking questions, and organizing data using tables and graphs. Our goal is to foster curiosity and a deeper understanding of the natural world, enabling students to communicate their observations using both everyday and scientific vocabulary.
Earth and Space Sciences:
Students learn about Earth as a planet and observe patterns in the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. Our tutors guide them in tracking changes in the sky, such as the phases of the moon, and understanding how these patterns can be used to make predictions.
Physical Sciences:
Students explore how sound is produced through vibrations and how different actions can create a variety of sounds. Our tutors support them in experimenting with everyday objects to understand how sound energy affects motion and vibrations.
Chemical Sciences:
Students investigate how materials can be physically changed through actions like bending, stretching, and breaking. Our tutors help them understand that these changes do not alter the material's composition, encouraging them to explore the properties of different substances.
Science as a Human Endeavour:
Students learn how people use science to make predictions and solve everyday problems, from understanding weather patterns to using materials creatively. Our tutors provide examples of how science knowledge is applied in daily life, helping students see its relevance.
Science Inquiry:
Our tutors encourage students to pose questions, make predictions, and explore the world around them. They guide students in safely conducting simple investigations, recording observations through drawings and measurements, and organizing their data to identify patterns.
