As Easy as CPD 1

In this Teachers TV programme, primary teachers Claire Duncan and Sukhbinder Bachra work alongside primary science consultant Rosemary Feasey to plan two science lessons on light. Rosemary offers some inspirational advice on how to approach the subject more creatively and engage children’s learning.

Claire plans to incorporate a story about a teddy bear needing new sunglasses to inspire her Year Three class. They will investigate coloured filters using light sensors then design and make sunglasses in a cross curricular science and design and technology lesson.

Sukhbinder's Year Five class are to investigate a solar eclipse and predict what would happen if the eclipse lasted for a long time. The children will work in groups and then make presentations to the class on the changes they experienced during the eclipse.

This programme concludes with the start of both lessons. In the next programme, Claire and Sukhbinder will reflect on the success of their lessons.
