Get inspired about running Primary Science Week

Join the New Zealand Association of Primary Science Educators (NZAPSE) and the Science Learning Hub in this recorded session as we share ideas, resources, and inspiration for running your own primary science week. 

Really enjoyed all the ideas – thanks so much!

Teacher

Running a science week provides opportunities to connect with your community including scientists, develop student capabilities, grow teacher confidence and have a whole lot of fun. 

In this webinar we explore possible approaches to science week, share our own experiences of what has worked well and offer loads of engaging hands-on activity ideas.

This session will be valuable for early childhood, primary, intermediate and junior secondary school teachers.
