The comprisons detiled in the document, compre the current 2000 Science Curriculum with the mster version of the 2014 Science Curriculum tht ws pulished y the DoE in Septemer 2013. Top 10 KS1 Science Curriculum Chnges At A Glnce 1) The "SC1 - Scientific Enquiry" section from the 2000 curriculum hs een renmed "Working Scientificlly" in the 2014 curriculum. 2) The "SC2 - Life Processes & Living Things" section from the 2000 curriculum hs een split out into "Animls including ", "Plnts" nd "Living things nd their hitts" in the new 2014 curriculum. 3) The "SC3 - Mterils nd their properties" section from the 2000 curriculum hs een split out into "Everydy " nd "Uses of everydy " in the new 2014 curriculum. 4) All the "SC4 - Physicl processes" LO's in the 2000 curriculum hve een moved to KS2. 5) A new topic re clled "Sesonl Chnges" hs een introduced in the new 2014 curriculum. 6) The 2000 curriculum "SC1 - Scientific enquiry" Lerning Ojective (LO) regrding "fir nd unfir tests" hs een moved to KS2. 7) The 2000 curriculum "SC3 - Mterils nd their properties" LO regrding heting nd cooling hs een moved to KS2. 8) In the new 2014 curriculum, "Working Scientificlly" explicitly sttes tht children should use simple equipment nd perform simple tests. This mkes the science more hnds-on for the children nd enles them to fully experience science for themselves rther thn y just videos nd demonstrtions. 9) The new curriculum recommends which yer individul LO's should e undertken.
