Using the context of contemporary science research 'Organised Chaos' will focus primary pupils attention on how real science takes place. Working scientifically is an area of the primary science National Curriculum (NC) that has had fresh light thrown upon it with the revised NC 2013, and teachers are actively exploring what this looks like, sounds like and feels like in a primary classroom, both indoors and outdoors. Similarly, the big ideas around Evolution has been introduced which builds on what children have learned about fossils in their topic on Rocks at an early age. Together these two aspects of work have inspired us to explore the work of palaeontologists and archaeologists at the University of Manchester (UoM) and at Diamond to provide children with a window into the worlds of contemporary science research in this area. There is so much learning about what it means to work scientifically that can be discovered when school teacher collaborate with STEM researchers and it only takes the effort to make and support those collaborations for real learning to flourish. Through talk these professionals deconstruct the processes that they explore in their work with research and children and intrinsically talk through the topics they are working on. It will challenge the clinical look and feel of science that often is limited to standard fair test investigations and illustrate the fluid and sometimes chaotic nature of science endeavour whilst contrasting that with the precision and attention to detail that then must unfold. It shall explore the habits of minds that scientists and engineers use and develop to sustain work in their field. The beauty of this project will be its focus on Diamond Light Source Technologies (LST) a resource that is unheard of in the world of most of the public. It is through the interrelationship of the UoM's Science Education Research & Innovation Hub (www.manchester.ac.uk/fascinate) who have long standing experience in school liaison, CPD and curriculum development, with key faculty centres such as the Interdisciplinary Centre for ancient Life (ICAL) at the University of Manchester (www.ical.manchester.ac.uk) who bring a wealth of experience and expertise in the fossil excavation and there integral work with Diamond LST that we are confident we can develop ideas to intrigue and inspire children into this area of learning. What it is Diamond LST? What it is used for? Who works with it and why? Through this project we can be expose and showcase how it is applied into the work of leading palaeontologists work to intrigue and fascinate children, their teachers and their families about real world science and engineering innovations.The involvement of the Ideas Foundation (IF) adds further uniqueness to creating this narrative and telling this story in a novel way. Their experience in the use of digital media as a means by which to engage learning will mean that there is a creative edge to the sharing of learning from this project. IF will support the project in the coordination of a pupil designed and made animation to showcase the practice of science and engineers.

利用当代科学研究的背景下“有组织的混乱”将小学生的注意力集中在如何真实的科学发生。科学工作是小学科学国家课程（NC）的一个领域，随着修订后的NC 2013，教师们正在积极探索这看起来像什么，听起来像什么，感觉像在小学教室里，室内和室外。同样，围绕进化论的大思想也被引入，这是建立在孩子们在早期岩石主题中对化石的了解基础上的。这两方面的工作激励我们探索曼彻斯特大学（UoM）和钻石大学的古生物学家和考古学家的工作，为孩子们提供一个进入这一领域当代科学研究世界的窗口。当学校教师与STEM研究人员合作时，可以发现科学工作意味着什么，并且只需要努力进行和支持这些合作，真实的学习才能蓬勃发展。通过演讲，这些专业人士解构了他们在研究和儿童工作中探索的过程，并通过他们正在研究的主题进行了本质上的交谈。它将挑战科学的临床外观和感觉，通常仅限于标准的公平测试调查，并说明科学努力的流动性和有时混乱的性质，同时将其与必须展现的精确性和对细节的关注进行对比。它将探索科学家和工程师使用和开发以维持其领域工作的思维习惯。这个项目的美妙之处在于它专注于钻石光源技术（LST），这是一种在大多数公众的世界中闻所未闻的资源。这是通过UoM的科学教育研究与创新中心（www. manchester. ac. uk/fascinate）的相互关系，他们在学校联络，CPD和课程开发方面拥有长期的经验，与曼彻斯特大学（www. example. com）的古代生命跨学科中心（ICAL）等主要教师中心www.ical.manchester.ac.uk的相互关系，他们在化石挖掘方面带来了丰富的经验和专业知识，并与钻石进行了整体工作。LST我们有信心，我们可以开发的想法，吸引和激励儿童进入这一领域的学习。钻石LST是什么？它是用来做什么的？谁在使用它，为什么？通过这个项目，我们可以展示和展示它是如何应用到领先的古生物学家的工作中，以吸引和吸引孩子们，他们的老师和他们的家人对真实的世界科学和工程创新的兴趣。思想基金会（IF）的参与进一步增加了创造这个故事的独特性，并以新颖的方式讲述这个故事。他们在使用数字媒体作为参与学习的手段方面的经验将意味着分享从该项目中学习的知识具有创造性优势。联合会将支持该项目，协调一个学生设计和制作动画，展示科学和工程师的实践。
