The Great Science Skills Starters are eight direct-to-classroom videos for teachers to use to support pupils to learn scientific skills to support them to work scientifically. Each video models the skill, and provides inspiration for pupils to practise it during their own enquiries.

Accompanying teacher notes provide additional support resources for teachers to use in the classroom.

Support your pupils to develop the skills of asking - investigating and sharing using the ‘direct-to-the-classroom’ videos here.
