• Show how science links specifically to the prime and specific areas of the EYFS
• Highlight characteristics of effective science-based activities
• Confront practitioners’ own issues with science and and similarly how it may affect their delivery of these activities
• Give practitioners practise at planning science-based activities with the existing resources in their own setting
• Help practitioners create an investigation station – a hub for all the science investigations
