At Thornlow, children learn science by doing. We encourage them to be curious about how things work, and to investigate and experiment creatively to find answers to their questions.
In Years 1-6 we study a different topic every term, each with either a biological, chemical or physical emphasis.
In Years 7 and 8 Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught as separate subjects.
