Precision or Process - KS3 Science

In this Teachers TV programme, two PGCE tutors analyse a Year Nine science lesson on healthy eating at Haydon School, Hillingdon, taught by Head of Science Dave Dennis.

Malcolm Reed and Sasha Matthewman review footage of the lesson which is based on investigating the fat and salt content in both beef and veggie burgers. Central to Malcolm and Sasha's analysis of Dave's lesson is their consideration of how to best balance the necessity of scientific method and precision with the fun of the experiment, and how the students engage with both.
