On Wednesday I ran a staff meeting looking at the House of Science kits mentioned in an earlier post. I wanted to take the staff through a kit, looking and the types of activities it contained and the resources that came with it. The kit supplied for that week was 'Puzzle Box 2' which was good because it focussed on the Nature of Science strand. This is the least understood of the science strands so along with explaining the kit I took the opportunity to unpack the Nature of Science strand and offer a possible framework for investigation based around the science capabilities. The following is a quick presentation highlighting some of my points.
The meeting went really well. The staff were very interested and positive about the kits and we will look to see how we can incorporate them into next years programme. They also found my talk about the nature of Science strand enlightening and I received several positive comments.
