|content= This resource explains the relationship between language and the curriculum. It outlines links between language skills and science, offering examples of science work which could develop speaking and listening, reading, and writing skills. Advice on long-term planning for the development of language skills in science suggests reviewing what you already do, planning for greater emphasis; identifying what else happens in school and evaluating your success. Included are example activities to develop children's use of language in science topics: 'moving things' 'materials'. A further document considers the topic of 'light' as a context for developing language.
