2025 MEMBERS FREE Webinar Series: It's not a Fringe Show, but... Tips for creating engaging primary science lessons without losing your mind!

Presenter: Miriam Doull, Unley Primary School

Intended audience: primary (R-6) teachers, 

Students often arrive at specialist Science lessons expecting fun and excitement - a bubble show, buckets of slime, sherbet to scoff, volcanoes going kaboom, rockets to fire, and geysers of elephant’s toothpaste. It’s wonderful to see their excitement and interest in doing hands-on science! In fact, it’s one of the joys of the job (and can make you a popular teacher??). However, we are typically running this show with no labs, little equipment, and no support to set up and clean up - plus we have a whole curriculum to teach, not just an entertainment schedule to deliver.

Description

So, how can we use that excitement and interest, grounding it in good pedagogy and organisation, to support deep science learning and keep our sanity at the same time?

In this session, you will be introduced to a series of Australian Curriculum aligned learning activities that support hands-on science in the primary classroom, with tips to make the logistics achievable in our context and grounded in good pedagogy.
