The awesome thing about science is that students are innately curious about the world around them and how things work. A science space might be something you think of in ECE, but it is an opportunity to give students hands‐on experiences, engage learners and extend learning. Creating a science space in the classroom is a way to give Science presence in a busy curriculum with so many pressures on teaching time. NZASE science communicator Heather Goodey talks with teachers from Y1‐6 who have incorporated science spaces in their classroom. They share their goals, approach and advice for educators interested in how they might include science spaces in their teaching programmes.
