Science Skills Display Labels

Reception science skills display labels for EYFS classrooms

Support early scientific learning with these Reception science skills display labels. Designed to accompany science teaching in EYFS, these labels help the children recognise and talk about the scientific skills they are developing throughout the year.

Each label links to an important area of scientific enquiry, helping the children understand how scientists observe, compare, sort, identify, question and investigate the world around them. Displaying these skills in the classroom provides a clear visual reminder of learning and encourages the use of scientific vocabulary during discussions and activities.

Create an engaging EYFS science working wall

These science display labels are ideal for a Reception science working wall, investigation area or classroom display. Teachers can use them alongside photographs, observations and examples of the children’s work to celebrate progress and make learning more visible.

As the children encounter different scientific skills across the year, the display can be updated to reflect current learning and support recall of previous experiences. This helps build confidence and strengthens understanding of how scientific enquiry works in practice.
