Engaging teachers, engaging learners in science
I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me. (Primary school teacher, Derbyshire)
Does science have to be entertaining for pupils to be engaged? It’s an interesting question. This highly interactive course will get you thinking about how primary science can be stimulating, and how it can be organised to engage pupils and ensure that they are thinking and learning. It will help you to understand the factors that influence effective science learning. You will experience a range of ideas to get pupils engaged and enhance their learning in ways that fit into everyday science lessons. You will be inspired, and so will pupils in your organisation.
On this course you will:
- Explore a range of starting points for science with pupils
