When designing science accommodation, even a single laboratory, the aim is to provide attractive, well-equipped facilities that support pupils as they engage with and learn about science.
Exciting, high-quality practical work is a vital part of pupils’ science experience and provision for this is what makes...

In this Catalyst article the work of archaeologists working on the graves of World War One (WWI) victims is described. The total number of military dead in WWI is estimated at 8.5–10 million. In the mud and confusion, many of the dead did not have proper burials. Many temporary graves were destroyed by later...

Published in September 2010, this summary of an online survey focusses on attempting to understand the factors relating to the retention of science teachers.

The Science with Technology project was a joint initiative of the Association for Science Education (ASE) and the Design and Technology Association (DATA). It was set up to develop curriculum links between science and technology for students aged 14-19 years. The...

The Science with Technology extended units were each planned to provide in-depth coverage of a topic or an area of the curriculum. The units were created as part of a joint initiative of the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association....

The Science with Technology focused units were each planned to concentrate on a particular aspect of a topic. The units were created as part of a joint initiative of the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association.

The Science with Technology Tool kit consisted of a series of three units designed to
provide students with opportunities to acquire a range of key skills valued by business and industry in a way that also supports their own work.

A series of videos, from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in which environmental scientists describe their work, what they enjoy most and how important their choices of A levels were. Environmental science covers a wide range of different careers with a common goal of understanding how our planet...

This is a report of a SCORE workshop held in September 2011 at the Royal Society to explore the place of scientific enquiry in the national curriculum. The report summarises the main issues raised and describes the views of the participants. The workshop was chaired by Libby Steele, Head of Education at the Royal...

This Catalyst article outlines volunteering opportunities for young scientists, engineers and medical students who put their studies to good use, working with local people around the world to bring the benefits of technology to communities who otherwise would go without some of the basic needs of life.

The materials in this resource are from the Secondary National Strategy ‘Progressing to Level 6 and beyond in science’ project. They were intended for science teachers who are focusing on helping their students in developing general skills in scientific writing. For a more specific focus on explanations, arguments...

This resource gives an overview of the scientific method, and includes information of biases.

In these videos, from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), scientists talk about what their jobs entail and what they enjoy most about their chosen career.

This guide shows how the BrickPi can enable novice programmers to use Scratch to control complex robots and models.

The instructions need to be followed using Scratch on the Raspberry Pi computer. The resulting programs use different input and output devices, including touch and colour sensors and motors....

The Scratch Patch collection is a series of articles from the MagPi Raspberry Pi magazine. The practical activities contained can be used, generally, with any version of Scratch – on a Raspberry Pi or any other computer. The activities are very directed, in support of students in the early stages of learning...
