Scientific Method – Short Course Enquire Now Immerse your students in the real scientific process! Designed for Years 3 & 6 to investigate the scientific method in detail, this workshop introduces and expands a variety of core scientific principles: forming a hypothesis identifying variables fair testing experimental design and reporting critical thinking and problem solving These 5 elements are essential for students to plan and undertake their own first-hand investigations as well as evaluate their results correctly, regardless of what unit of work they are studying! Use this workshop to help students understand the core components of scientific literacy as well as kick-off their entry into high school science. Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a LIVE video conference to any school around the globe! NSW Schools: Incursions can take place (Last updated August 17) NSW Dept. Education: Activities/site usage that can take place: “Incursions/external providers can provide activities that support delivery of curriculum (e.g. music tutors, sport skills development programs, science demonstrations, drama tutors, Healthy Harold)” Read more here Fizzics Education’s measures in place for incursions for COVID-19 Contact us and we’ll tailor a program to suit both your school and the State’s social distancing requirements (NSW, VIC, ACT, QLD). Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)
