Primary Science Research Project

Are you a Key Stage 2 teacher interested in participating in a research project? MOSI is currently hosting a PhD student researching how a class visit to MOSI can enhance children's learning.

The research would take place during any term in 2010/2011. It could involve some teaching before and after a class's visit to the Museum. There would be a particular focus on the role of children's talk.
