Active Learning : Tabletop Science

Cambridge Primary Science should not be a subject, but a student's exploration of the world around him/her while s/he develops scientific inquiry and learns how to follow scientific practice. Science should be incorporated into daily activities and into the regular classroom; a laboratory and specialist equipment are not required; this science can be done on the top of a table.

Cambridge Primary Science is not learning about Science; it is learning through Science with approximately 30% practical activities, and a focus on Scientific methods and the Scientific process. Contents of this one hour session include the place of tabletop science in a Cambridge Primary programme, equipment, planning and set-up, and several quick, easy, effective and teacher-friendly activities. 

This session is rooted in the Philosophies and Practices of Active Learning and provides plug-and-play, tried and true activities for the teaching and learning of Science.

This is one of our Cambridge Primary seminars for teachers in or seeking to join a Cambridge Primary Programme school and is also useful for teachers in other experiential programmes such as High Scope, IBPYP, Montessori and Reggio.
