KS Science Passport

Helping students develop the practical skills needed for success in science.

 

A hands-on practical science programme for Years 5-7 designed to build skills, confidence and curiosity.

 

The KS3 Science Passport is a structured programme where students complete a series of practical science investigations while developing key scientific enquiry skills. As students progress through the programme, they record their achievements in their own Science Passport.

What is the Science Passport?

The KS3 Science Passport is a practical science programme designed to help students develop the skills they need to succeed in science.

 

Students take part in hands-on investigations that develop their ability to plan experiments, collect data and interpret results.

The programme is designed to:

 

• Build confidence in practical science

 

• Develop key scientific enquiry skills


• Encourage curiosity and critical thinking


• Prepare students for GCSE science
