Year 3 – Combined Science

The Cambridge Year 3 Combined Science course is designed to deepen learners’ understanding of the natural world through observation, exploration, and simple scientific investigations.

Students will explore a wider range of scientific topics including plants, animals, materials, forces, and the environment. Through hands-on activities, discussions, and guided experiments, learners will develop curiosity, observation skills, and the ability to ask and investigate scientific questions.

This course places strong emphasis on:

• Understanding the basic characteristics and needs of plants and animals

• Exploring different materials and their properties

• Learning about simple forces such as push, pull, and movement

• Observing weather patterns and changes in the environment

• Developing skills in asking questions and making simple predictions

Lessons include visual explanations, simple experiments, interactive activities, and guided discussions that encourage students to explore and think scientifically.

By the end of the course, students will be able to describe basic scientific concepts, make careful observations, ask questions about the world around them, and develop greater confidence in scientific learning.
