A - Science and the Communicator
In this session delegates will be looking at incorporating literacy and science through drama and persuasive texts. A central element of this session involves consolidating and assessing children's knowledge and understanding. Links will be made to the programmes of study for both Key Stage One and Two.

B - Science & the Mathematician: Teaching children to think mathematically and scientifically
This workshop will look at links between mathematics and science in stories for  young children. Mathematical thinking and investigation will be explored with  activities for children in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. There will be a  focus how these can be linked to science. Key processes of being systematic and  using patterns to make predictions will be considered.

C - Science and Games
This workshop will consider the role that games have to play in learning and teaching science in upper KS1 and KS2. It will offer the opportunity to explore a range of games and evaluate their 'fitness for purpose'. Small group and whole class discussion will underpin the session.

D - Science and Knowledge and Understanding of the World through Physical Education and Physical Development.
This practical session focuses on how to explore Science, and Knowledge and Understanding of the World, through the means of Physical Education. You will take part in a variety of practical activities that will focus on how to develop observation, manipulation skills and curiosity of movement and unhurried actions. You will be able to engage in developing language skills within your pupils to describe simple features of objects, events, movements including direction, pathways and speed. You will also investigate how to use the human body safely to push and pull as examples of forces and how to measure these forces.

E - Science & Early Years
This workshop will allow you time to reflect upon the opportunities for the development of scientific and technological understanding in the Early Years and Key Stage 1. We will discuss the place of language in developing scientific concepts and consider a variety of activities and ideas that you will be able to use with your learners as well as have some fun.

F - We're Going On A Bear Hunt: Using Contexts For Learning – A Creative Approach
In this session delegates will explore the benefits of adopting a contextualised learning approach. They will be taken through a voyage of discovery experienced by students in an upper ks2 class and will learn how to apply the approach to their personal situations.

G - Science and Design Technology
This session will be taken by Julie Lunt Executive Officer from the Design And Technology Association (DATA). Delegates will delve into what the future may look like for both design technology and science. The session is also aimed at aiding delegate's awareness as to how the subjects can be linked effectively.

H - Science and ICT
This session adopts a practical hands-on approach. Delegates will learn how to improve speaking and presentation skills and allow children to develop scientific language through the exploration digital sound recorders and sound editing software. Delegate will discover how to use these captured responses in such programs such as Clicker Grids, PowerPoint, podcasts and other presentation packages. There will also be the opportunity to explore a range of ICT products that are aimed at supporting children's learning in science.

I - Science and Industry
Gayel Pook is the Primary Projects Manager in the Chemical Industry Education Centre at the University of York's Department of Chemistry.
Her work involves linking education with industry and producing resources that help teachers to do so. In this session delegates will discover the benefits of involving the wider world of science in their teaching.
