Research-2-Practice (R2P) - Secondary Collection

This is a useful collection of research informed secondary science lesson plans produced as part of the Research-2-Practice project undertaken by research teams at the University of Roehampton, University of Lincoln, York St John University and KYRA research school, between 2020 and 2021, which was funded by Wellcome. The overall aim of the project was to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in science by giving time-pressed teachers quick and easy access to relevant research to inform their practice.

The project identified issues that prevented the effective teaching of science at both primary and secondary level and then created concise summaries of the relevant research on how to address these issues. The best practice identified from this research was then translated into exemplar lesson plans which can be found in the collections below.
