I Bet You Didn't Know... What's New in PSTT's Cutting-Edge Science in Primary Schools Project
Trew, Alison J.
Primary Science, n168 p17-20 May 2021
Since the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) launched its Cutting-edge Science in Primary Schools Project a little over a year ago, the authors have written 30 "I bet you didn't know…" articles for primary teachers and children. Accompanying teacher guides describe related activities and investigations that children can carry out in the classroom. In this article the authors elaborate upon three further developments: (1) To demonstrate science is carried out by a diverse range of people, they have acquired photographs of the scientists who wrote the papers on which the articles are based; (2) The authors reflect on the different ways that children can emulate scientists' work through their own investigations in the classroom; and (3) The authors have created an interactive Overview of all the articles published to date, grouping them according to the themes in the primary curriculum, so that teachers can search for an article that is related to their science topic.
