Plants and animals develop in different waysHow to use this book
Mission: Science follows a topic and scientific enquiry driven approach modelled on the Grades K–6 OECS curriculum for primary science and technology. Develop your pupils’ scientific and technological knowledge and understanding by using the Student's Book, and the accompanying Workbook and Teacher’s Guide.
Unit opener The unit opens with two pages of key words, ideas, facts and talking points to stimulate and engage pupils in the unit’s main ideas before they begin exploring the topics contained within the unit.
Pupils can read inspirational notes about real scientists and how science is used in the world today.
Pupils are encouraged to discuss and share as a class, in groups or in pairs their knowledge and understanding of an idea or topic.
Units are categorised as either Life Science, Earth and Space Science, or Physical Science to align with the OECS standards. Content from the Technology strand is interwoven throughout.
Life Science Earth and Space Science
Physical Science

Topics and lessons Each topic leads the pupils through a series of activities that elicit learning through doing and exploring in a series of sections. These sections allow you to work with your pupils through discussing, enquiring, researching and investigating with easily accessible materials.
Unit overview Science projects: ideas and instructions at the end of each unit provide pupils with opportunities to create a science project to showcase what they have learnt.
Checking and testing: pupils are encouraged to review what they have learnt during the unit by completing an end-of-unit test.
You can use these tests to assess which areas pupils may need further support in.
Scientific words and terminology are highlighted in blue throughout. Definitions can be found in the glossary at the end of the book.
These activities foster scientific investigation with particular enquiry skills, such as predicting, observing, recording, planning, evaluating and reporting.
Workbook page referencing indicates that a section is further supported by activities in the accompanying Workbook. These can be done in class or as homework to complete a section.
Unusual and amazing facts help to stimulate discussion and pupils’ enthusiasm towards the topic being learnt.
These tasks develop pupils’ research skills by encouraging them to find out more information about a topic by themselves.
At the end of most sections there are opportunities for pupils to review their own knowledge and understanding by answering short questions.
This symbol indicates that a question can be used to challenge pupils to extend their knowledge.
Safety warnings explain how budding scientists can conduct experiments safely.
These icons suggest where ICT can be used to support learning.
