T065 Engaging Learners in Science and Technology | Fri 8th Jan 2010, 0930-1030 |
| | To learn effectively in science and technology, pupils need to be engaged. However recent reports show that many pupils don’t find science to be a stimulating and creative subject, and that their attitudes become less positive by the time they leave their primary schools. This workshop will suggest a number of creative ways to get pupils engaged in science and technology lessons, maintain their interest and enhance their learning. | Speakers | | Stuart Naylor | Millgate House Education | | Brenda Keogh | Millgate House Education | | Jane Turner | Millgate House Education |

W003 Exploratory Talk in Science | Wed 6th Jan 2010, 1100-1130 |
| Medway LA and the Collaborative Learning Project are working together on resources that encourage pupils to talk their way into understanding science concepts. Evidence suggests that opportunity for exploratory talk and encouragement to collaborate on problem solving, helps pupils to think scientifically rather than just memorise facts. Collaborative classrooms help learners access English while sharing their scientific knowledge. This workshop lets you experience practical activities on hard to teach topics that have been tried and tested in challenging classrooms.
Resources have been developed by:
Collaborative Learning Project Director: Stuart Scott
Medway Science consultant: Heather Millington
Medway Science ASTs: Mark Barley and Alec Stride

W093 Having a Go at Real How Science Works (repeat) | Fri 8th Jan 2010, 1400-1600 |
| | Participants will get a real understanding of various aspects of How Science Works by actually having a go. Different roles will be taken to look at when data manipulation becomes distortion; and some real investigation will be done to see if dowsing actually works. Participants will also have an opportunity get supporting materials which show how all aspects of HSW link together. | Speakers | | Stuart Sherman | National Strategies |
