Science
Science can be one of the more difficult school subjects in which to inspire and engage pupils. It certainly was at my school, where an unfortunate trio of drab individuals failed spectacularly to deliver what was a thoroughly fascinating subject. Often, scientific ideas are quite complicated to fully understand, especially for children at the primary level, so practical work is essential. In addition, a recent report issued by the Association for Science Education (ASE) concluded that outdoor learning was necessary when teaching science. Giving pupils the ability to directly link first-hand experience with classroom ideas will enable pupils at any key stage to get the most from the subject.
