Science Mastery @ScienceMastery

What does inclusion look like in secondary science? Science is a hierarchical subject, so new learning depends on secure prior knowledge. An inclusion‑first approach sequences practical skills carefully, reduces cognitive load through using a “slow practical” approach, and weaves in the maths understanding students need to engage confidently with scientific concepts. These approaches help every student understand not just what they’re doing, but why. Explore the science guidance in our Inclusion‑First Curriculum Guide: ow.ly/LX9150ZLVv6
