Science Learning Hub Overview and Webinar Opportunities

Embrace a world of science discoveries with the Science Learning Hub, a treasure trove designed to boost teachers' science teaching abilities and build their own science understanding. Delve into the wealth of resources available in the Teacher Professional Learning and Development (PLD) section, teeming with webinars, planning advice, and pedagogy insights.

Here are some exciting opportunities the Science Learning Hub offers to expand your science horizons:

Webinars

We host a variety of engaging and informative webinars showcasing diverse science topics. These sessions, held mostly on Thursdays from 4.00-4.45pm, are recorded, edited, and uploaded as webinar articles for viewing convenience. You can access these resources online or download them for future reference. The team at the Science Learning Hub offers approximately 10 webinars every year.

To participate in the live sessions, register through our website and receive a link to join the webinar. We use Zoom, a popular web-conferencing tool, for our webinars. If you've attended a LEARNZ field trip, chances are you've used Zoom already. You can join using your PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android device, or access it from your phone.

Find our webinars by using the PLD type - Webinars filter in our Teacher PLD section.
