National Curriculum Science has now been implemented for over five years with recent changes. What are the implications for pupil and teacher talking and writing science?

Without communication, science does not exist, for the investigations and outcomes must be shared and discussed.

IN A WORLD OF COMPOSITE LITERACY, SCIENTIFIC LITERACY IS A MUST.

This conference explores talking, listening and writing SCIENCE: in the classroom and on school outings to museums and zoos.

COME AND JOIN US in sharing current theory and practice as well as interesting follow-up.
