A hands-on resource for retrieving science vocabulary and using it with understanding
In the guidance report, Improving Primary Science (EEF, 2023), the first of the six recommendations highlights the importance of developing children’s scientific vocabulary so they can use it with understanding and participate effectively in science.
Science Dice provide an engaging hands-on approach to supporting children to recall science-specific vocabulary and to apply it in their science learning. The resource consists of sets of topic-related, age-appropriate scientific words that are designed to be used with 12cm sided foam dice with clear window pockets. Each vocabulary set consists of an A4 page of six words which, when cut into separate cards, can be inserted into the pockets on one dice.
