What makes primary science meaningful?
Is it hands-on investigations? Real-world relevance? The spark in a child’s eyes when a question leads to discovery? Meaningful primary science is more than experiments—it's about purpose. It’s science that connects to children’s lives, deepens understanding and builds a sense of wonder about the world around them.
This year’s National Primary Science Conference puts meaningful learning at the heart of every session. From purposeful practical work to curriculum design that makes sense to pupils, we’ll explore how to teach science in ways that are engaging, inclusive and grounded in real understanding.
Join us in York for a day of inspirational keynotes and hands-on workshops that will help you create science experiences that stick—with ideas you can take straight back to the classroom.
