Science Workshops for Primary Schools in Scotland
Always rooted in real and concrete science and taking their lead from the Curriculum – but taking approaches from the world of the arts – our Science workshops for primary schools in Scotland (P1 – P7) provide an excellent way of engaging students with science and supporting them in understanding the world (and worlds) around them.
Our downloadable Maths teaching resource packages have recently been shortlisted for both a Teach Primary and Bett Award in the STEM category!
