Framework for secondary science

Science teachers can find out how the Framework supports pupils and how they can use it to support their teaching.
- Planning for progression in science
  
  Science teachers can read how the Framework is built around five strands, to focus learning, planning and assessment. See how learning objectives for each strand help them to plan for progression and monitor the development of pupils' skills and understanding. There is also further support for subject leaders and teachers who need to plan for inclusion.
- How science works
  
  This science strand contains learning journeys, pathways, and rich questions to focus planning, teaching and assessment. It also provides practical support by listing common barriers to learning and links to amplification. It is one of the five strands within the Framework for secondary science.
  - How science works
- Chemical and material behaviour
  
  This science strand contains substrands, learning journeys, pathways, and rich questions to focus planning, teaching and assessment. It also provides practical support by listing common barriers to learning and links to amplification. It is one of the five strands within the Framework for secondary science.
  - Chemical and material behaviour
- Organisms, behaviour and health
  
  This science strand contains substrands, learning journeys, pathways, and rich questions to focus planning, teaching and assessment. It also provides practical support by listing common barriers to learning and links to amplification. It is one of the five strands within the Framework for secondary science.
  - Organisms, behaviour and health
- Energy, electricity and forces
  
  This science strand contains substrands, learning journeys, pathways, and rich questions to focus planning, teaching and assessment. It also provides practical support by listing common barriers to learning and links to amplification. It is one of the five strands within the Framework for secondary science.
  - Energy, electricity and forces
- The environment, Earth and the universe
  
  This science strand contains substrands, learning journeys, pathways, and rich questions to focus planning, teaching and assessment. It also provides practical support by listing common barriers to learning and links to amplification. It is one of the five strands within the Framework for secondary science.
  - The environment, Earth and the universe
- Developing a scheme of work
  
  Planning, teaching and assessment support, which uses models and examples of approaches to link science concepts and objectives across the five strands within the Framework for secondary science.
App 6: Force diagrams

Pupils can label these 12 diagrams to demonstrate their understanding of forces and how forces act in everyday situations.
App 7: Apollo 15 hammer-feather drop

This video shows astronauts on the Moon replicating an experiment by the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei where a heavy object and a light object are simultaneously dropped.
Developing critical and creative thinking in science

This publication offers practical suggestions and examples that can help you to structure activities that build on pupils’ abilities, interests and experiences.
Forces: Bringing it all together

This is a list of ideas and strategies examined in the study guide ‘Strengthening teaching and learning of forces’.
Forces: Introduction

This publication offers an overview of the suite of resources aimed at strengthening teaching and learning in forces.
Forces: Some challenging concepts

This section examines four aspects of forces that often prove difficult to teach, mass, gravity and weight, resultant forces, reaction and turning effects. You can find summaries of these points and activities to support your teaching.
Forces: Teaching and learning about forces and motion

This publication examines a procedure, supported by two rules, that analyses the idea that the motion of any object can be explained by considering the forces acting on it.
Forces: True or False

This questionnaire can help teachers and pupils explore common misconceptions about forces.
Forces: Visualisation of forces and their effects

This publication will help secondary science teachers to teach pupils about difficult to visualise forces including gravity, tension, friction and reaction.
