SEMINAR: Raising scientific passion in children: an educator's experience

This seminar will give a glimpse of the work carried out in Rostrata Primary School by Richard Johnson, winner of the Premier's Prize for Excellence in Primary Science Teaching in 2008.

Ric believes the universal appeal of science learning poses no boundary to any child. The secret to children learning sciences is in the ability to engage them at their own level and that a hands-on activity, experience or demonstration can be created to support the achievement of any primary science learning outcome.

In this seminar, Ric will share what he does in his world of science and children as a scientific passion raiser; including demonstrations of experiments and hands on activities.
