Re: Science
I totally agree, however the National Curriculum says otherwise. The revised curriculum is better, at least KS1 no longer have to conduct fair tests and consider variables. Science is a core subject and Ofsted are focussing on it. May sharpen a few schools' delivery.Catseye wrote:The only thing they need to do at primary school is experiment and more experiments the smellier,louder or brighter the better, enthuse children, make science exciting the theory just comes via osmosis-the theory(boring for young'uns) can wait until secondary school.maknows wrote: he didn't have much science in his state primary
May I add that our school's Science Lead is lovely, a paragon in the world of teaching and generally a legend in her own lunchtime..
Re: Science
Dd loves Crash Course Chemistry on YouTube. It goes up to a higher level than even GCSE, but great fun. So if he could just watch without thinking he has to understand all of it, it is very inspirational.
