Abstract

Teaching and learning science during the school closure period was always going to be a challenge. However, lockdown research conducted by the University of Central Lancashire shows that children from deprived backgrounds are at greatly increased risk of having their scientific aspirations blighted by Covid. Lead researcher Dr. Cherry Canovan considers the problem – and what can be done about it.
