Stem rocks our world NS009 / B22
Summary
Through a range of hands-on practical activities delegates will explore STEM concepts and link these to areas of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). Participants will have the opportunity to explore how these practical activities and concepts can be used to support and develop STEM skills in learners, from early to second level. The course content will explore CfE Experiences and Outcomes from the Planet Earth Organiser, giving delegates the chance to develop skills and expand their knowledge of the big ideas in this area. Participants will be asked to complete a range of supported self-study activities and produce an action plan to take forward ideas from the course. Throughout the course delegates will be able to share ideas for developing activities in their own settings.
