Science Coaching for Primary School
We offer year-round online science coaching, designed to suit IB PYP Primary School science program, or any Science curricula for Primary School, including the NGSS.
What to Expect
- Personalised mentoring cycles including co-planning and reflective discussions
- Support differentiating instruction to meet diverse learner needs
Enhancing and creating Primary School Science Curricula
Integrating Sustainability into Learning
We offer to enhance your current Primary School Science curriculum or creating and adapting a new Science curriculum at your Primary School.
What to Expect
- Comprehensive review of your existing science syllabus to identify growth areas, engagement gaps, and resource efficiencies.
- Evaluating and restructuring existing science units to ensure continuous progression through Primary School
Integrating STEAM challenges in Primary School
Connecting the Theory with the Praxis
We offer the integration of STEAM into your Primary School curricula. Through tailored STEAM challenges, scientific explorations and investigations, students will learn to work and think like scientists and engineers by including the scientific method and the design cycle in their investigations and engineering projects.
What to Expect
- Integration of modern pedagogical strategies, including inquiry-based learning and cross-curricular STEM/STEAM connections.
- Localisation and adaptation of international curricula to fit local academic frameworks and classroom resources.
Greening the Curriculum
Integrating Sustainability into Learning
Following the Green STEAM approach, which focuses on facilitating STEAM challenges that allow students to solve current issues related to the SDGs and aligns to the UNESCO greening of the curricula.
We offer consulting that will expediate and facilitate the process of accreditation to become an official Green School (e.g. Eco School, Earth Charter School).
What to Expect
- Creative Activities using available and recyclable materials
- Connecting the Global Impacts to the Local Issues through Systems Thinking and Contextual Learning
Cristina Silvestre,
Primary School Teacher, Domeny School, Girona, Spain
“Ms Hendrichs offered a workshop at Domeny school to Primary teachers in Girona (Spain), about how to work a pond project, implement related lessons using the scientific method and develop STEM challenges. She also worked with us in the classroom using the co-teaching approach. It was a very valuable and enriching experience for us.”
Outdoor Learning
Learning about the world around us with books and our senses.
We offer the design and onsite consulting of an eco-lab as an outdoor learning facility that promotes science and sustainability education. For 20 years the “eco lab” (designed by us) at the Vienna International School has proven to be a highly successful outdoor learning facility that engages students K-12 in environmental investigations. At the “eco lab”, students engage in experiments that relate to the SDGs under a semi-natural setting.
What to Expect
- Scalable to the needs of the classroom and space availability
- Guided activities tailored to the environment of the outdoor classroom and linked to curricula

Founder of Cherish: Growing Healthy Young Minds.
“When it comes to making complex science topics experiential, easy-to-understand and a lot of fun, Marti is on a whole other level. I honestly don’t know anyone else who brings science alive for children in the way that Marti does. Children absolutely love Marti’s lessons and develop a much deeper level of understanding of quite complex science because of her fun and experiential approach. Marti’s knowledge and passion make her quite simply the best science teacher I have ever met.“
