Summary of contents
This collection of extension activities will allow you to provide enrichment for secondary teachers and children in the science curriculum, particularly addressing the needs of the gifted and talented child. Enriching Science offers challenging enrichment activities for able children that aim to inspire more children to study science; to encourage scientific literacy among all children; to foster creativity with regard to scientific thinking; and to stimulate an informed debate among children about the application and direction that science takes in our increasingly complex society.
The activities in this book are designed to stretch a young person’s thinking and provide a base for applying scientific training. The message we hope your students will understand is that science is challenging and exciting, and if they have the ability and are excited by science, they can successfully study at a higher level and help create a better future. If the abilities of your students take them along other paths in life then we hope the activities and challenges in this book will help them to appreciate the role of science in all our lives.
Enriching Science presents activities that are based within the national curriculum but that will also enrich and extend it. The activities are presented in three sections:
- applying science: 10-minute activities
- lesson-length enrichment activities for Key Stages 3 and 4 in biology, physics & chemistry
- day-long enrichment and extension activities.
