STEM CPD for Keystage 3 - Rocketing STEM into Space
INTECH and SLC SE invite teachers you to a CPD event to discover the opportunities and resources on offer to assist in delivering the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) curricula and providing enrichment and enhancement activities.
INTECH is drawing together a wide selection of cross curricular activities, ideas and opportunities for teaching Keystage 3 students using Astronomy and Space as a theme. The keynote speaker will be the aclaimed author and broadcaster
Simon Singh.
This course qualifies for an Impact Award of £200 per training day. Any teacher or lecturer from a maintained school or college can apply.
This event was heralded a great sucess when we first ran it in 2009 " very good and informative, good resources and ideas I can actually use!" & "Best practical day I have had in years, well done - thank you" were just some of the comments on the evaluation.
The programme will include:
* Key note lecture given by Simon Singh, who will talk about the Big Bang and how it can be used in the classroom.
* INTECH’s KS3 presenter-led planetarium show “Alien Worlds" a great opportunity to link science lessons to a fun and informative experience.
* Pre-recorded planetarium shows
* Presenter-led show which flies through the known universe & beyond with scientists and engineers
