Do you love Science? In this Ongoing Class, learners will explore a range of Science subjects in a fun and interactive way. This course aims to provide meaningful learning experiences for young explorers.

Each class will include a range of teaching methods and activities that are designed to engage the learners in both a hands-on and minds-on way. Classes will include experiments, Q&A, quizzes, games, worksheets, videos and much more. Some classes will include breakout rooms.  Learners will be encouraged to observe, explore, question and share what they learn. A variety of methods are used to support learners and cater for different learning styles and needs. 

Please note, this class will contain similar materials to the class for learners aged 5-7, but there will be further questioning, exploration, explanation and a greater depth of understanding. 

Please also note, there will be reading and writing tasks in some classes. This course is mapped to the National Curriculum in the UK and is planned for Key Stage 2 which is ages 7-11. Please do check the whole description when choosing this course for your learner. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
