Welcome to the updated Teachers section!
Discover Primary Science and Maths (DPSM) is the national programme, run by Science Foundation Ireland, to foster interest in science, technology engineering and maths amongst children in primary schools. Many schools contact us looking for help in delivering the science and maths curriculum in schools and making it more interesting, relevant and visual for their students. We hope to help with this and have been doing so for over 10 years. Since 2010 the programme has been run in conjunction with the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) Ireland which uses space to inspire and engage young people in science and technology in the world around them. The programme offers:
- Investigate the signs of Spring with our Greenwave resources
- CPD workshops and summer courses for teachers
- A framework for inquiry based science education and a Classroom Activity Teacher Planning Guide
- A website with classroom activities, resources and quarterly e-newsletters
- Science Foundation Ireland Discover Science and Maths Awards.
- A network of Discover Centres offering primary science and maths workshops and outreach programmes including, the Zoo, national parks, interpretive centres and marine education centres.
- DPSM introductory sessions with pre-service teachers in collaboration with the Colleges of Education
