The Science Learning Partnership and the EdTech Demonstrator Programme are joining forces to deliver a fully funded, highly practical, inspiring and creative look at how the use of technology in the primary classroom can improve the quality, outcomes and enjoyment of science in the KS2 curriculum.
Delivered via a face-to-face day long course this CPD course will leave you raring to try out a range of practical activities with students and help enhance your primary science curriculum.
The course has been designed by practising KS2 science teachers with input from colleagues with computing expertise.
The course will include the following sessions:
Enhancing science teaching and feedback through audio/visual techniques
In this session we will explore ways to create and use bespoke audio/video to increase student independence and learning in primary science starting with a look at magnetism. We will also look at ways tech can be used to enhance the effectiveness of student feedback in science whilst saving teacher’s time.
Virtual Laboratories
In this session we will explore how students can be transported to a virtual laboratory if such facilities do not exist in the primary school and ideas for their use in the Primary Curriculum.
The use of data loggers in primary science
In this session we will explore what data loggers are and present creative ideas for how they can be used in the classroom enhancing student knowledge of scientific methods.
Using Tech to enhance Fun, Creativity and Authenticity in Primary Science
A practical session showcasing a variety of fun and hands on ways to bring science to life using technology. For example, we will explore ways of bringing the topic of electrical conductivity to life.
Resourcing Primary Science
A look at ways to fund a high quality primary science curriculum. Advice on some of the very best online resources available to teach the primary curriculum and how technology can enhance primary STEM clubs.
Friday 12th November - Skipton
