Get practical - on course

Practical work is an essential part of a young person's science education. It is vital therefore that the practical science being taught in schools and colleges is effective in supporting learning and that any activities done link to scientific concepts being taught. With this in mind, a consortium of scientific professional bodies is supporting Getting practical, a continuing professional development (CPD) course for science teachers, from primary through to post-16 levels, and technicians, who want to improve the effectiveness of practical classes for the benefit of the students.
