With the increased use of AI, Victoria Hedlund outlines potential bias that can emerge through the prompts used. Other articles, such as Brooke, Wilkinson and Cooper and Smith-Stevenson, consider how different subjects can be brought together and how creative pedagogies can support the teaching of primary science. Caroline Barker, Jo Montgomery and Guy Underwood stress the benefits of outdoor learning and the importance of planning for impact. Tim Holford’s podcast shares insights from a range of primary science experts and he outlines how such a resource can be used to support teaching and learning.
