Uruguay Primary School Curriculum (4th/5th Grade) - Science

The Uruguayan primary school curriculum is based on the Marco Curricular Nacional (National Curriculum Framework), which was introduced in 2022. This framework emphasizes a competency-based approach and outlines ten general competencies that students should develop. One of these competencies is computational thinking.

While specific details about the 4th/5th grade Physics curriculum are not readily available, general science is taught in primary school. The Marco Curricular Nacional and accompanying learning progressions guide the curriculum development.

The available information suggests a move towards a more student-centered, interactive, and collaborative learning approach.
