Making Science Engaging

Engaging young minds in the world of science can be a thrilling journey. Here are some strategies we use to make sure our lessons are exciting, memorable and impactful: 

• Hands-On Experiments: Science is best learned through experimentation, so we’ve made sure to include lots of hands-on activities and experiments to help students apply their knowledge in real-life contexts. In Cells & Organisation, students get to examine their own cheek cells, explore onion cells, and even bake bread!
• Real-World Applications: Every lesson emphasises the connection between scientific principles and real-world applications. Our expert and career films show your students how the concepts they're learning are relevant in their daily lives and inspire them with the possibilities science holds.
• Collaborative Projects: Our units have a good mixture of independent tasks and group activities. Collaboration not only enhances learning but also fosters critical skills like communication and problem-solving. In Cells & Organisation, starter and plenary tasks frequently involve class discussion, whilst activities such as imagining you are a sprinter’s lungs encourage individual creativity and attention to detail. 

If this run-through of Cells & Organisation has inspired you and you're ready to explore the possibilities of Developing Experts, we encourage you to give our curriculum a try and witness the transformation in your science classrooms.
