Introduction
Natural Science is part of a global project which aims to promote the acquisition of
key competences, the achievement of academic excellence and the undertaking of
global assessment. It also includes the acquisition of basic skills, such as reading
comprehension, speaking and writing skills and integrates Information and
Communication Technology (ICT), entrepreneurship and civic education.
This project is designed not only to teach students the main concepts, but to show
them how to apply them, both in the classroom and in everyday life, whilst developing
the values they need to become socially committed citizens.
Natural Science is a six-level Primary course which covers the core objectives of the
Natural Science curriculum in English, following the CLIL methodology (Content and
Language Integrated Learning). This methodology teaches scientific knowledge
through the medium of English. The core curricular objectives of Natural Science are
progressively introduced to achieve two main objectives: to learn the scientific
contents and, at the same time, practise the English language.
The aims of Natural Science include:
• To promote understanding and appreciation of the natural environment through
situations which reflect the learner’s real world.
• To offer a content-based approach to Science through which other interdisciplinary
skills develop: language, scientific inquiry, learning to learn, and decision making.
• To provide opportunities for learners to develop their personal and social skills.
• To provide a solid base for values education through the course contents to enable
learners to develop scientific curiosity alongside responsibility for the world they live in.
Natural Science allows the teacher flexibility to adapt the materials to the number
of contact hours, through a variety of extension activities and digital resources.
This project places great emphasis on improving students’ reading and writing skills.
Texts are presented in clear, simple language and are accompanied by attractive
photographs and illustrations which capture students’ attention immediately and aid
comprehension. The level of difficulty of both the explanations and the activities has
been graded and adapted throughout the course bearing in mind the students’ level
of competency in English.
Natural Science provides ample opportunities for self-evaluation, in order to boost
students’ self-confidence and their capacity for autonomous learning. Helping students
to reach their own level of excellence is a fundamental goal of this project.
III
Key competences
KEY COMPETENCES are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to
different contexts and situations. These competences have the following characteristics:
• They encourage the development of skills rather than the assimilation of theoretical content:
individuals become ‘competent’ when they learn how to solve problems effectively.
• Competences develop progressively and can be acquired in different learning situations
and institutions.
• They are interdisciplinary because they integrate knowledge that originates in different
academic disciplines.
IV
Multiple intelligences
In 1983, Howard Gardner, of Harvard University, wrote his Frame of mind: Theory of multiple
intelligences. In this work, he identified seven distinct types of intelligences, located in different
parts of the brain. To quote Gardner, this theory: ‘documents the extent to which students
possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in
different ways’ (Gardner 1991). Gardner defended the belief that these types of intelligences
were not innate, but could be developed to a greater extent with appropriate learning strategies.
Using Gardner’s work as a base, researchers have identified eight different types of intelligences,
each independent of the other, and each with its own learning style. This means that each
individual will have a unique blend of these intelligences, with some more developed than others.
One student may stand out because of his linguistic intelligence, whilst another may possess
highly-developed logical-mathematical reasoning.
Gardner said that these differences ‘challenge an educational system that assumes that
everyone can learn the same materials in the same way and that a uniform, universal measure
suffices to test student learning.’
The new education law, the LOMCE, seeks to potentiate students’ abilities and competences
so that they may respond efficiently to different personal and social situations. In response to
this need, Natural Science offers activities and strategies designed to develop the different
intelligences.
In the Teacher’s Book, activities that are specially relevant to particular learning styles
are flagged with a label.
These learning styles are as follows:
Linguistic intelligence. This is the ability to use the Musical intelligence. These students show sensitivity
