Essential Experiences in Science is an exciting new scheme for Years 4-7 which address National Curriculum topics e.g. air resistance, friction. We have free resources and equipment to share with 30 schools.

• When: The project will run from now until the end of the year - you can stay as long or not - as you like!
• What's on offer: Free printed investigation cards, free resources and equipment with opportunity to attend free CPD webinars and to ask for support from local Epistemic Insight research lead
• Why: By getting involved in the scheme, children in your class will be doing hands-on science enquiry - and the investigations can be taken home in the event of a local lockdown or quarantine.
• What do teachers do: We are asking teachers to use these free resources and to give the children in their class a short before and after survey, with headteacher consent. (Also open to trainee teachers on placement with supervisor support)
• What we will do: Support the teacher with the investigations through the CPD webinars and development of their own lesson plans. Contact [email protected]
• How do I get involved: Book onto as many of the webinars as you using the dropdown menu below (click 'Add to basket' then navigate back to this page) and contact [email protected], if you are interested to be a teacher researcher in your school.
