Find out how practical work improves student learning in all science subjects. This ExpertTrack will enhance your confidence in teaching hands-on science and enable you to develop approaches in planning hands-on science experiments to enhance student learning. This CPD ExpertTrack for teachers and others involved in teaching science to students aged 14-16 is designed to facilitate a peer-to-peer learning environment, with discussions, activities and reflection. Students would benefit from some science teaching experience as well as a solid understanding of relevant scientific principles.
This CPD ExpertTrack is aimed at high school science teachers looking to enhance the learning and engagement of 14-16 year old students through hands-on science. The three featured courses explore strategies and approaches for incorporating hands-on work into science lessons.
By looking at the context, progression, assessment, and outcomes of learning, those involved in science education will develop approaches to enhance engagement and foster learning. All three courses develop teaching practice using examples from biology, physics, and chemistry. Improve science learning outcomes through active learning.
The question of how to engage students in science subjects goes beyond schools. It is a matter of record that we are facing a global STEM skills gap. Building practical and scientific skills with students throughout school will be key to addressing this skills gap in the near future. Explore approaches to bring learning to life through hands-on science experiments. Hands-on science enables students to better understand the connection between theory and practice.
Using hands-on science experiments can bring to life what students have learned in textbooks. By engaging students in the learning process, teachers can encourage active learning and ultimately drive learning outcomes. Teachers on this ExpertTrack will benefit from our CPD approach, which emphasizes reflecting on practice and trying out approaches in your own class while learning online.
Discuss how to improve learning outcomes in a social learning environment. You will benefit from a peer-to-peer learning environment. Teachers can share their ideas on how to engage students through hands-on science experiments with professional peers, exchanging tips, and sharing best practices. The practical work examples in this ExpertTrack are drawn from the UK GCSE syllabus. However, the pedagogical approaches and many of the experiments are transferable to other curricula.

Required experience This ExpertTrack is aimed at those involved in teaching science in secondary schools, to students aged 14-16. You will need to know the science curriculum and health and safety requirements for teaching hands-on science in your local area. The courses are based on the UK GCSE framework, although the knowledge would be relevant to any science teaching context. The examples used in this course are based on hands-on science experiments for students ages 14-16. The practical science approaches explored would also be relevant to those teaching 11-19 year olds.
The National Center for STEM Learning provides world-class professional development activities and resources to support the teaching of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects.
