Did you know?

Cutting-edge research can be linked to primary science curriculum topics.

Aimed at teachers and adults interested in introducing cutting-edge science research projects to primary age children, PSTT has created freely downloadable Did you know? articles which are linked to primary science curriculum topics.

Articles are written in language that primary children can understand and suggest questions for children to consider.

Accompanying Teacher Guides (which can be used a classroom presentations) describe activities and investigations that children can do related to the research.

You might have noticed some improvement if you’ve been a long time user of I bet you didn’t know… We have recently updated the resource to Did you know? – this resource still links to cutting-edge science but now with the following improvements:

• Reading opportunities to help children understand how science is applied in the world around them.
• Guidance for teachers to improve science capital by encouraging pupils to connect science learning to world events.
• Teacher Guides are now made simpler by linking the research to one primary science topic and one learning objective within that topic.

Learn more about this exciting resource from our recent webinar. Professional learning events can be found here – including a 40-minute session all about Did you know? and how you can use it in your classroom.
