The course will have an emphasis on inquiry base d learning and provide opportunities to apply skills and knowledge to real life situations. The main curriculum areas covered by the course are SESE (Science\, Geography) and Mathematics with a focus on skills: Mathematica l skills: applying and problem solving\, integrating and connecting\, comm unicating and expressing\, reasoning. Literacy skills: developing competen ce and confidence in oral language and using a scientific vocabulary. Deve loping cognitive abilities through oral language. Science and Geography Sk ills: Observing\, estimating\, measuring\, predicting\, designing and maki ng\, recording and communicating. The course will include hands-on sessions based around the DPSM/ESERO Framework for Inquiry and a range of classroom based activities\, which have been developed\, tested and used widely by primary teachers. The DPSM/ESERO Framework for Inquiry has been developed by DPSM facilitators &\; teachers working with science educat ion specialists and is designed to be used in the planning and teaching of a topic\, or theme\, on the SESE Science curriculum. SEAI’s Primary Sch ools Programme\, developed by DCU (formerly St Patrick’s College\, Drumc ondra) will be covered in the latter part of the summer course. The progra mme is designed to support children develop their knowledge about energy\, energy efficiency and conservation within the SESE curriculum. During the 2 days\, teachers will do hands on activities and explore energy and scie nce in a real world way\, expanding their knowledge about how and why as a society\, we need to develop new ways of looking at our energy resources. This course qualifies for the Department of Education &\; Skil ls EPV Days. \; LOCATION:University Rd\, Galway\, Ireland DTSTART:20190701T083000Z DTEND:20190705T130000Z DTSTAMP:20240329T014609Z ORGANIZER;CN=Galway Education Centre:MAILTO:coursebookings@galwayec.ie GEO:53.277024;-9.061486 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=University Rd\, Galway\, Ir eland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=72;X-TITLE=Alice Perry School of Engineering\, NUI Ga lway:53.277024;-9.061486 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
