Primary School.

- The main aim of this workshop is to provide teachers with very important tools when dealing with science.

- Using hands-on activities teachers will acquire the background needed to design their own experiments, to identify variables and report results. All of them are key aspects when making science.

- Through hands on experiments teachers are expected to learn how to:
- Design their own experiments.
- Identify variables (independent , dependent and constant).
- Report results (data colletion /data analysis).
The topics to be developed are:
- living things, characteristics, cell respiration, carbon dioxide.
- Starch, polymers, food.
- Dealing with results.
- Reporting results.
- Identifying variables and designing your own activities.
The workshop is divided into theoretical and practical aspects.

Introduction:
- How to deal with science.
- Variables, independent, dependent and constant.
- Positive and negative controls.

Experiments:
- Using starch at home.
- Identifying starch in plants (leaves and seeds).
- Starch as a food additive.
- Yeast and cell respiration.
- Release of CO2.


Rounding up activity:
By the end of the workshop, teachers are going to be given exercises to relate the different contents and apply them to new situations.
