Generative AI for Primary Science Teachers

Thursday January 9, 2025 14:15 - 15:05 GMT

Pope LT C15

This session will look at the range of AI tools available to Primary Science Teachers. It will look at how to use free tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot to help with planning and lesson resource creation. It will demonstrate some ways that AI can be used by primary pupils to support science learning. There will be suggestions for other free (or paid) AI tools that are available online that can support planning, teaching and learning. The session will look at the art of creating useful prompts to get the AI to do what you want.

The author of the new book "Science Fix: Science Made Easy for Primary Teachers", Danny Nicholson, will discuss how AI tools can help reduce teacher workload. You will leave equipped with a toolkit of AI resources and strategies to enrich your science curriculum and inspire curiosity in your students.
