The learning framework

Anatomy of a focused lesson

Each session moves from a clear question to guided exploration and a check for understanding.

10 minutes

Wonder and question

Start with a real-world science question and connect it to what the student already knows from everyday life.

25 minutes

Explore together

Work through hands-on investigations, diagrams or reading with tutor guidance and student participation.

10 minutes

Check for mastery

Use a short practice task or quiz to identify what is secure and what should come next.
