Course Details One of the best ways of helping pupils learn and understand science is to get them thinking andtalking about it using fun and simple science demos, experiments and ‘science tricks’ that they can dothemselves or the teacher can demonstrate in class. You can use such novel experiments to not only helpthe pupils remember and understand the science they need to learn, but also give them practice in the‘higher-order’ creative thinking skills as well, such as applying, analysing, problem solving, reasoningand enquiry. So ‘Dr Mark’s’ lively (and entertaining!) day is full of his fun, novel and easy to deliverhands-on science experiments, investigations and science tricks ideas, all designed to stimulate, enrichand inspire the scientific mind of your pupils, and get them into the ‘higher order’ thinking and learningmode effectively and naturally, almost without them realising they are even doing it. In other words, toget them thinking and chatting about science!The course will:Give you an enjoyable day and a range of tried-and-tested science activities to take back to the classthat will inspire and engage the pupils about science.Show how to effectively teach and illustrate science ‘theory’ with the use of practical, hands-on orteacher-demonstrated activities.Show a way of teaching science that is particularly effective for stimulating the ‘higher order’ creativethinking, enquiry, problem solving and reasoning process skills in pupils of a wide range of ages andabilities right across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and 2.Show a range of engaging science activities from across the curriculum, with particular focus on theoften more difficult to teach ‘physical sciences’, including forces and motion, chemical reactions andproperties of materials.Show how such activities can be used in a variety of ways from quick lesson starters to full lengthlesson activities and even engaging homework.Provide FREE site-licensed, printable digital teachers resources detailing all the activities covered onthe course and more...
