Different, but related question. What absolute core knowledge do science teachers need their S1 cohort to arrive with and can we trim down Primary science (that is often not taught well due to lack of resources, training, & an overcrowded primary curriculum) and just teach that core?

Science teachers in Scotland: 1. Is the BGE Sciences curriculum too cluttered? If yes, 2. What should be removed?
