School based hands-on science
A workshop on choice, creativity and exploration of available resources.
This workshop is for teachers and students to choose, create and explore readily available resources (including app-based ones) for scientific learning. It demonstrates that one does not need a ‘sophisticated’ set-up to explore science. The medium of instruction is English.
Before the start of every academic year, both practicum school teachers and resource persons from the University exchange a list of themes to explore during the year, taking care to include topics that promote conceptual clarity, resource up-cycling and dynamic interaction.
Topics offered
- Why you should do star gazing every night & other stories (Workshop for students)
- Having fun through app-based science activities and convincing your school that it is creatively essential to allow you to use your smartphone! (Workshop for teachers)
