The Partnership in Primary Science Project Funded by the Astrazeneca Science Teaching Trust
One of the aims of the Partnership in Primary Science Project was to set up a community of practice in which continuing professional development would occur with respect to science and ICT. • The project team met once a month face to face and maintained online communication during the interim period. • A by product of the key aim was the creation of resource materials for teachers and children. The resource materials have been developed and tried by the teachers involved in the project. • The material in this CDROM, contains video clips of the teachers explaining how they organised one particular theme (classification/rainforests), some examples of pupils work involving the Powerpoint, and a brief overview of the lessons.
