  • In this recorded professional learning session, Andrea Soanes and Lyn Rogers explore how teachers can confidently plan opportunities to build on their students’ data-collection skills.

    The focus is on how to engage students in science and to build their understandings of the nature of science whilst developing their science capabilities. This session will be valuable for both primary and secondary school teachers.

    Watching the recorded webinar creates an opportunity to engage with some simple ideas and activities from the Science Learning Hub, and it discusses how these ideas can be used to enhance students’ data-collection skills.

    The PowerPoint and recorded webinar provide ideas and information that will support teachers of any year level to:

    • enhance students’ understanding about data
    • identify and utilise students’ prior knowledge
    • build on students’ understandings of the nature of science
    • help develop students’ science capabilities
    • explore relevant activities on the Science Learning Hub.
