Life processes and living things

Ran the last course in a set of three at the Science Learning centre at Leicester University on Friday 15th June. A select group of us met to consider the tools, resources and peripherals that could effectively support and enhance this particular strand of the Science National Curriculum.

Time was spent examining the number of ways that data handling is used ... from venn diagrams through spreadsheets and branching database to flat file databases. These, and curriculum contexts, were examined from a pedagogic point of view with an eye to the future and a passing mention of heutogogy and androgogy.

Teachers attending the sesion went away with the resources already loaded onto a 'USB stick' for quick and easy reference.
