Hive Mind – Fun science

Hive Mind is a free-to-access online space where you can meet once a term to celebrate and share the amazing ways that primary and intermediate teachers are getting hands-on science into their classrooms.

Get involved in a teacher-fed online forum facilitated by Science in a Van in partnership with their friends from Pokapū Akoranga Pūtaiao.

The theme for this term’s Hive Mind is Fun science with the aim is to make planning for your science topic easier and more fun! During the webinar Emily and Alan will share lots of engaging and celebratory science demos and experiments so you can end the year with a bang! Sandy Jackson will also be sharing one of her favourite primary science experiments – making pancakes. There's a whole heaps of science in her recipe!

During Hive Mind, you will:

• Hear how other teachers plan to get science into their classrooms.
• Have an opportunity to share your own plans.
• Be able to bounce ideas, resources and activities around with other teachers.
• See some hands-on demonstrations/experiments from Science in a Van that you’ll be able to recreate in your classroom.
• Be equipped with basic science concepts from the Science Learning Hub team.
• Get access to a digital collection. The Science Learning Hub will combine the ‘Hive Mind’ ideas with our resources to create an online collection that you can copy and make your own!

All this will ensure that your next science topic is fun, engaging, well planned and accessible for both you and your students.
