Small group tuition providing practical science experience to support home education
Practical Science sessions cater for two age groups, though the age is intended as a guide only, as every child is different:
Practical Science for 8-12s:
For younger students, Practical Science for 8-12s sessions offer younger students an opportunity to gain experience handling practical science equipment to run experiments in a fun, small-group environment. They'll develop their understanding of good experimental procedures and further their understanding of the theory behind a range of science topics.
Further details coming very soon...
Practical Science for 11-15s:
For older students, Practical Science for 11-15s sessions offer the opportunity to develop their experimental understanding, technical skills and scientific knowledge with expert exam-focused support for those at any stage of studying towards their IGCSE Science qualifications. Read more...
