As a qualified science teacher Ben has run countless primary teacher development science workshops for teachers looking to enrich their curriculum.
Ben will highlight a free web resource that details over hundred simple science experiments you can do using supermarket ingredients and run a number of experiments during the session that you can repeat easily.
