Light and Sound in the Primary Curriculum NN025
Summary
This 3 session course will take a blended approach, being delivered by both online and a face to face hands-on practical workshop. It will reinforce teachers’ subject knowledge of the topics light and sound and explore practical ways of extending pupils’ understanding through a progression of activities across the primary curriculum. On the third day teachers will be given the opportunity to go through the design process and make a range of models to take back to school.
