Year 5 - Creation and science; conflicting or complementary? - SK
This is the Sticky Knowledge of Unit 34 from Year 5. Within this unit, pupils will discover the significance of creation within the ‘Big Story’ of the Bible. They will explore Genesis 1 and learn about how various Christians may interpret this text differently. Pupils will engage in discussions and evaluate whether Genesis 1 conflicts or complements scientific understanding. Additionally, they will encounter scientists who hold religious beliefs and those who do not, and explore the compatibility of science and faith. Throughout the unit, they will encounter various theological theories used by Christians to interpret the creation story, understanding why these perspectives may be valuable for believers. By the conclusion of the unit, pupils should grasp that while some perceive science and religion as opposing, others do not. This unit is part of the RE Today Primary RE Curriculum, accessible exclusively to NATRE Primary and Cross Phase School Enhanced members.
