The Max Science Enquiry Box series is a flexible resource to support primary science programmes in International and English-medium school settings.
Over 6 stages, each Enquiry Box contains a range of activity cards to facilitate enquiry-based learning across the subjects of Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Activities throughout the series support a student-centred, hands-on approach, and guide learners through the stages of collecting ideas, planning work, presenting evidence and drawing conclusions.
The Max Science Enquiry Box series helps students develop their understanding of concepts through practical application, while teachers are supported in delivering a modern and relevant science class. A ‘Scientific Enquiry’ strand is also included to support teachers and students who need to focus on the development of enquiry-based learning skills, and raise confidence with the approach.
