Science trip

by Aristotle on 24th November 2008

Department:

Science

Year Group:

Year 9

Venue Region:

Wales

Town:

Wrexham

Summary:

It was OK at best, but the more I think about it the worse it really was. We wont be going back anyhow. Took quite some time to book it as several times they did not return calls. Even after all that they double booked us so half of the group didn't get to do all the activities.

Poor.

Venue: Techniquest NEWI

Benefit:

Some very good links to KS3 and KS4 Science

Plus points:

Some of the exhibits were really good
Great hands on stuff

Minus points:

The 'student' (?) guides talked down to the children from the start which was not good, some were downright rude.

Also lunch arrangements were not great.

I don't think they were geared up for secondary schools.

Some rooms had only sufficient interest in them for half the time allocated.

Supposed KS4 debates / talks were terrible.

Overall:
