Who Needs Science? Activity Cards

Who Needs Science? Activity Cards

How many times have you heard, “I don’t need science to be a…..” or “Who needs Science?” These activity cards, aimed at KS2, demonstrate that science is important and necessary in many jobs and careers.

Each card features a statement from the science programme of study, followed by a list of careers where that knowledge would be required as well as an activity. The activities give pupils opportunities to model the real life application of science in the workplace.

The 50 activity cards are colour coded by topic and the teacher’s notes suggest resources that may be required for the lesson as well as ideas of how to carry out the activity, key vocabulary and key questions.
