The what, why and how of...Evolution!
Event Information
Description
Curiosity Connections Primary Science Knowledge Boosters
In this new talk series, inspirational speakers will connect the big ideas of science with our region’s local history and culture. It’s an opportunity for primary school teachers to get a lively insight into the what, why and how of those tricky curriculum topics. With culturally relevant links to the city and a teacher's top tips for the classroom, these talks are designed to help deliver the broad and balanced curriculum required by Ofsted.
The what, why and how of...Evolution!
Rhys Charles, Education Officer at the Bristol Dinosaur Project, will put evolution in a palaeontological context by highlighting how researchers at the University of Bristol are trying to answer seemingly impossible questions, like what colour dinosaurs were.
Next up is a teacher tag-team, consisting of Head of School, Orchard Campus at Filton Avenue Primary School, Komilla Datta, and Ashton Gate School, Year 6 teacher, KS2 science leader and SLE, Charlotte Thomas. Komilla will bring her experience and knowledge of the wider curriculum to show how evolution fits in. And Charlotte will use her working knowledge of the classroom, to give some tips on how to teach this topic.
