3rd Grade Science scheme of work from Focus Education. This scheme has been designed to help you create your own bespoke curriculum but take advantage of the numerous resources that have been produced to support you.The curriculum is built on sequencing knowledge and skills (to include substantive and disciplinary knowledge) and building on prior learning so that each subject creates a narrative. Focus Education have used an enquiry-approach methodology, where possible, so that questions are predominant in most of the units produced.

3rd Grade Science unit, Digestive System from Focus Education. This unit uses an enquiry-approach methodology, lessons are built around a central question in order to build pupil curiosity and motivate learning. Digestive System has been constructed in accordance with the National Curriculum.
