Children are tasked with investigating which conditions produce the most mould and which are the quickest, by using bread stored in a variety of conditions. Children are encouraged to make a prediction about the results, and then to observe and record their results. 

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context. The activities use the pharmaceutical industry as a real life context to encourage children to look at the properties of materials, changing state and separation techniques....

Children are set the task of finding a suitable coating to cover tablets, to slow down the dissolving process in water, by testing coatings on effervescent tablets. Children are encouraged to record their findings.

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context. The activities provide an opportunity for children to think about micro-organisms and come to understand that they can be both helpful and harmful. This approach makes the...

An interactive resource from Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) that illustrates treatments for infectious diseases both past and present, and explains the need to develop new medicines to keep pace with mutation.
