Science for Families
Suitable for: Classroom Teachers and Science Coordinators
The Science for Families course is a 5-week after school science club aimed at children in KS2 and their families. Children and parents work together to explore different areas of the science national curriculum, through simple science experiments with everyday household items.
This Facilitator Training Session will teach your staff to deliver the Science for Families course within your school. The training will include everything needed to run as many courses as you wish, aside from a few easy-to-source materials. You’ll get hands-on practice at delivering all the experiments, printed and digital copies of the course booklet and access to the online resources which support the course. The session will also discuss how to get parents involved in school science lessons, and how to guide conversations with families around science.
Careers in the Curriculum
Suitable for: Classroom Teachers and Science Leaders
In this training session we look at why it’s important for primary teachers to include career-related learning in their classroom teaching. We’ll include an overview of theories of the development of children’s career aspirations, and consider what that means for primary schools
We’ll also look at some simple resources that you can use to include careers from early years up.
