We are proud to share a selection of ‘science careers’ lessons created by CIEC as part of the new primary science curriculum recently launched by Oak National Academy.
The lessons are linked to the National Curriculum for primary science and encourage more children to feel that ‘science is for me.’
Children as young as Year 1 (5 and 6-year-olds) will learn about how some people use science every day as part of their job, and how science can be a job for everybody.
The lessons include opportunities for teachers to uncover and discuss any misconceptions children may have about who might work in a science related career.
They also encourage young children to consider a range of careers in science- related industries, as they begin to think about future aspirations with information such as...
“If you like asking questions and finding out about the world around you, then you might like to have a career in science.”
For more information about these lessons, please get in touch with CIEC or visit The Oak National Academy primary science page to access the free primary units.
