Welcome to Science at Hocking Primary School!
At Hocking Primary School, science is anything but ordinary! Our students from Years 1 to 6 step into a purpose-built laboratory where curiosity leads the way, and every lesson is an opportunity to explore the wonders of the world around them.
Guided by a passionate specialist science teacher, students enjoy at least one hour of hands-on science learning every week. Whether they’re building circuits, launching rockets, analysing soil, or experimenting with chemical changes, every lesson is designed to spark imagination, deepen understanding, and develop real scientific thinking.
Our fully equipped lab and wealth of exciting resources mean students get to question, investigate, create, test, and discover—just like real scientists! They learn to use tools and materials safely and purposefully, collect and analyse data, and work collaboratively to solve problems and explain the “why” behind what they observe.
But science at Hocking doesn’t stop at the lab door. We help students make meaningful connections between classroom learning and the real world, preparing them to become curious, informed, and capable life-long learners.
Our Science Program Aims to:
- Inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of discovery by encouraging students to ask questions, explore ideas, and wonder about the world.
- Equip students with practical science skills, from planning fair tests and analysing results to drawing conclusions based on evidence.
- Build strong science knowledge across biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space sciences, helping students understand and explain everyday phenomena.
- Empower learners to think critically, solve problems, and make informed decisions in an ever-changing world.
