MacDiarmid Institute PhD and MSc students visited Greenmeadows Intermediate in South Auckland and Christchurch’s Casebrook Intermediate School in May. The science teaching workshops involved hands-on sessions with the children, as well as teacher development (photos below). Each of the 24 sessions were 90 minutes long and included demonstrations of liquid nitrogen and dry ice as well as hands on activities.
Overall a very positive couple of weeks with lots of follow ups both with Greenmeadows, Casebrook and the visiting teachers.
