What’s Going On

These activities are taken from and inspired by the Explorify website which provides rich tasks to encourage pupils to think like Scientists. Short videos can be a great stimulus for inquiry. The website gives specific prompts for whole class discussion.

The PDST Primary STEM issue an e-Bulletin STEM Smaointe and regular updates regarding upcoming CPD events via email. If you would like to subscribe please click here.

In addition to this we are delighted to offer you bespoke school support, where a skilled advisor will provide school support during and after school hours. If you wish to apply for school support please click here.

Finally, our webinar series STEM sa Bhaile and STEM ar Scoil are available here. The next webinar will run on Tuesday 10th November and you can register here.

Have fun and please feel free to share photos with us on Twitter tagging @PDSTPrimarySTEM and @ScoilnetPrimary. We’d love to see how your pupils enjoyed Science Week!
