Children need opportunities to develop practical and inquiry skills in order to engage with the world in a scientific way and to make sense of what they are learning Hands-on investigations promote curiosity and engagement and provide opportunities for the type of discussion and questioning which develop understanding.
This workshop will look at science investigations in action. Teachers will be led through the elements of a scientific investigation by:
- Posing questions that are scientifically investigatable
- Giving priority to evidence - gathering scientific data by recording observations and making measurements.
