Continuing Professional Development
Teaching Science in the Foundation Stage

Explores how science fits into the early learning goals and what it is like to teach science to a foundation class.

This unit has been created with the help of SCIcentre: National Centre for Initial Teacher Training in Primary School Science and the University of Leicester School of Education: Tina Jarvis and Wendy Suschitzky.

The Objective

This PDU is intended to show how science can be included in the Foundation Stage. The PDU looks at: The learning intentions, the activities, recording and assessment.

Two Foundation Stage settings are given as examples. The teachers have been working on 'What things are made of and what they can do'.

Evaluation

All Professional Development Units are created and written by education professionals who have given their time and expertise to the project.

To ensure that Professional Development Units meet your requirements and are proving useful we provide an opportunity for feedback at the end of the unit.
