The theme for this term’s Hive Mind is Light and Colour with the aim is to make planning for your science topic easier and more fun and will be led by Emily and Alan from Science in a Van.
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. Hear how teachers have made topics work in their own classrooms, share questions and ideas, and gain insights around the scientific concepts.
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.
