In-person

Thinking, Doing, Talking Science (TDTScience) is a four-day course for primary teachers that enables you to make science more practical, creative and challenging for all pupils, raising pupil’s attainment and self-confidence in science, especially in those with lower ‘science capital’.

The TDTScience approach encourages children’s exploration, investigation, discovery and experimentation, and unlocks their excitement and enthusiasm for science. Making lessons more practical, creative and challenging, the TDTScience approach provides opportunities for higher order thinking in science learning. TDTScience was developed by Science Oxford in partnership with Oxford Brookes University.
