RM Asia-Pacific: Easiteach Science

Product Overview


We know that there are challenges in teaching Science. If you're feeling the pressure of creating and managing lesson resources yourself, Easiteach® Science is the whole-class teaching product you've been waiting for.

Easiteach Science provides powerful resources for whole-class teaching, and is designed to help deliver these parts of your lesson.

Easiteach Science is made up of two elements:

Easiteach Tools - a simple to use, interactive teaching tool for whole-class teaching.
Easiteach Content Packs - a collection of ready-made activities, simulations, models and resources that you can use in your lessons.

Easiteach Science has been developed specifically for use on interactive whiteboards and other technologies suitable for whole-class teaching, bringing interactivity and greater student involvement to your lessons.

"Easiteach Science offers an engaging, stimulating and interactive method of enhancing science teaching and learning in the classroom. "

Barbara Heath, ICT Coordinator, teacher evaluator - Schoolzone.co.uk

"As a Science curriculum tool, the coverage is very thorough for both KS1 and KS2. All units are linked to the QCA. The Reception teachers were delighted that Easiteach Science includes work for their year group, as all too often this age group is excluded."

Barbara Heath, ICT Coordinator, teacher evaluator - Schoolzone.co.uk

"The best feature of Easiteach is the facility for teaching the difficult practical areas such as, the earth in space, for example the phases of the moon can be shown to the whole class as a simulation on a large screen as opposed to moving spheres around the classroom. It is useful to have other simulations eg shadow sticks as either an introduction to practical work or as a summative assessment following it. It is also useful as a recap and revision tool eg the experiment on frictional surfaces for KS1"
