Vocabulary Science Resources

 

The EEF’s no. 1 recommendation for improving primary science is explicitly teaching scientific vocabulary.

 

Created by educators, we use evidence-based teaching strategies.

We support all students, including those with SEN, to learn vocabulary.

Our resources have been researched and tested in schools.

Digital resources with a focus on teaching keywords in science

We hope to empower students aged 6 to 14 with their academic language

 
 

Our resources are designed using evidence-based strategies demonstrated to be effective to support students in learning new vocabulary.

Understanding words is the foundation for all learning. We don’t introduce any complex vocabulary until we teach it. The Education Endowment Foundation’s no. 1 recommendation for improving primary science is explicitly teaching scientific vocabulary.

Our resources are designed to break down challenging concepts and allow students to work independently.
