Venue: Discovate – Innovation, Science & Adventure Learning Park
Program Type: Full-Day Experiential Learning Program
Age Group: Cambridge Primary Stage 3 (7–8 years)
Duration: Full-Day
Focus: Forces, motion, balance, systems, and cause-and-effect relationships
Cambridge Primary Science (Stage 3 – Forces and Scientific Enquiry):
• Identify pushes and pulls as forces
• Explore how forces affect movement and speed
• Observe how balance is maintained
• Ask scientific questions and make predictions
• Identify simple cause-and-effect relationships
• Record observations using diagrams and structured notes
• Use evidence to explain findings
• Communicate scientific ideas clearly
AO1: Conceptual Understanding of Forces and Systems
Identify and describe pushes, pulls, balance, and the interaction of parts within mechanical and living systems.
AO2: Scientific Investigation and Cause-Effect Reasoning
Make structured observations, ask relevant scientific questions, identify variables influencing movement, and explain simple cause-and-effect relationships using evidence.
AO3: Applied Analysis of Motion and Balance in Real Contexts
Analyse how force, stability, coordination, and safety mechanisms influence system performance in real-world settings.
AO4: Scientific Communication and System Modelling
Record findings through labelled diagrams, structured explanations, oral reasoning, and simple system design tasks.
This structured outdoor science programme enables learners to investigate how systems function through real-world applications of forces and motion. Students explore mechanical systems, living systems, traffic systems, and motion-based environments to understand how different parts interact to create movement, balance, and stability.
Through guided inquiry and structured observation, learners strengthen conceptual clarity in forces, deepen cause-and-effect reasoning, and practise communicating scientific understanding using appropriate vocabulary and models.
Students will:
• Identify examples of forces operating in real-world systems
• Describe how pushes and pulls affect movement and speed
• Recognise how balance is maintained in different situations
• Analyse cause-and-effect relationships within systems
• Demonstrate safe and responsible scientific participation
By the end of the program, students will:
• Describe at least three systems observed and explain how they function
• Provide one evidence-based explanation of how force influenced motion
• Identify how balance or stability was maintained in one activity
• Record observations using structured diagrams or written responses
• Communicate a clear cause-and-effect explanation orally
