Science Capabilities & STEM PLD
Develop scientists through questions & observations 

Science offers students the opportunity to develop the skills to explore and question the world they inhabit. It is about asking a question, gathering evidence and using it to answer the question. It challenges students to think critically and supports their capability to make informed decisions. Applying science investigation as a tool within students integrated inquiries can deepen the experience and provide engaging rich learning experiences.

​

Blend offers schools and teachers assistance in developing their local curriculum with a clear focus on fostering students' scientific literacy. We can provide strategic planning and workshops as well as being able to working closely with with teachers and teams to bring science into the classroom. Contact us to support you with your application for MOE Regionally Allocated PLD.

Science PLD with Blend 

LOCAL LENS

Making links to science across different learning areas means students have more opportunities to develop their scientific capabilities. Using a local lens students can experience science in their local environment .

CRITICAL THINKING

 Developing essential skills to investigate and make meaning of the world is crucial for every student. The way lessons are structured prompts students to develop their critical thinking skills.

STEM CREATORS

We focus on developing students as creators through challenge. STEM projects can be used to link multiple areas of the curriculum in authentic contexts.

STEM is about using science and technology to solve problems.

NATURE OF SCIENCE

We empower teachers to confidently and effectively use Nature of Science  (NoS) in the classroom, so students  learn what it means to be a scientist. You can easily blend  NoS into classroom practice.
