The Partnership in Primary Science Project

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.
