The course is one of the modules of the program "Acquisition of multi-level STEM in primary school for grades 1-6" Natural Sciences III, which is based on knowledge acquired practice and research, the student interest education program " Brainiac Laboratory " developed by the Interdisciplinary Center for Educational Innovation, University of Latvia. As a result of completing the course, the participants will have broadened their understanding of how in the 5th-6th grades in the process of learning Science it is possible for the student to develop in-depth and integrated use of research and engineering design skills; skills to infer and argue; students to create their own projects. In the classes, teachers will have the opportunity to analyse learning situations, examples of lesson plans, perform methodological tasks, engage in professional exchange of approaches to learning science, mathematics and technology, aimed at providing the transfer of student skills. Independent work
