Description
This specially created practical day will give GCSE level students a solid grounding in the importance of practical science. Aimed specifically at students who are ready to think more deeply about the practical aspect of science:
- Understand why practical investigations are important in science (and how they contribute to good exam performance)
- Develop understanding of the scientific method and its application to various investigations
- Improve scientific vocabulary relating to the scientific method
- Deepen knowledge and understanding of scientific principles
The schedule for the day is currently as follows (subject to change communicated via email):
