Tray-based practical work has been the approach taken by many schools in the COVID/post-COVID era. Dr Katherine Forsey will showcase a selection of the popular What’s in my tray? practical science activities that support delivery of the national curriculum. Perfect for the current restrictions and beyond and for providing STEM Clubs with ready-made activities.
There will be a live STEM challenge (bring your own kit, see the list below), a preview of the new antimicrobial and compostable trays and an update on the Grantells Science Technician of the Year Awards.
