  • Watch Simone Marsters and Greta Dromgool in a session demonstrating what it looks like to bring resources from Pōkapū Akoranga Pūtaiao – Science Learning Hub alive in your classroom.

    Ever looked at resources and thought how do I make them work for my class? You're not alone. The Hub has so many resources – some of them covering some pretty complex science. Let us break down the steps we take when adapting a resource to meet the needs of our students.

    During the webinar we will give examples of common primary classroom topics and how we have used Hub resources to inform and engage students.

    This session will be valuable for primary and intermediate school teachers.
