This resource is a complete Professional Development (CPD) package designed to support science departments in planning and embedding progressive scientific inquiry skills from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4, with biology-focused examples from Year 7 to Year 11. The session is suitable for department meetings, INSET, or subject CPD, and is particularly valuable for teachers preparing students for IGCSE Biology. In addition to the CPD presentation, this package includes a practical implementation document that can be used after the training to support consistent classroom practice across the department.

This resource provides a clear, structured progression of Scientific Inquiry Skills from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4, with practical biology-based examples from Year 7 through to Year 11. Designed for Heads of Science, curriculum leaders, and classroom teachers, this document supports skills-led curriculum planning and helps ensure students develop the inquiry skills needed for IGCSE success, not just content knowledge. The progression shows how key scientific skills build year-on-year, moving from guided inquiry in KS3 to independent, exam-ready scientific thinking in KS4.
