These National Strategies materials were produced as taught CPD sessions for science teachers, and later as self study units, on Assessment for Learning in science.

...

National Strategies teacher self-study units were devised to help science teachers develop an understanding of the key elements of Assessment for Learning and how it might affect their practice.

This resource provides Key Stage Three National Strategy training materials to run a day session with science teachers to help them develop an understanding of the key elements of Assessment for Learning and how it might affect their practice.

From April 1989 SEAC assumed responsibility for the management of the existing contract of the Assesssment of Performance Unit (APU). A new section formed within the SEAC was created – the Evaluation and Monitoring Unit (EMU).  The unit has responsibility for monitoring and evaluating the National Curriculum...

This resource is a summary of a seminar organised by SCORE (Science Community Representing Education) in November 2009. The seminar aimed to discuss the purpose and methods of assessment of practical work in science. It also looked at the current GCSE specifications and the key philosophical differences of the...

This activity, available in three different programming languages, requires students to ‘dry run’ written code and work out what it does. This is a useful skill for programming, which tests their understanding of assignment and subsequent changes to variables within programs. They step through code and analyse the...

The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) supports research and education about animal behaviour. It provides support to teachers in schools and colleges in teaching animal behaviour, from primary schools to sixth forms. In addition they provide general advice on behavioural methods, statistics,...

This collection of materials is produced by the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM).
The collection contains three sub collections: Resources for the Primary Mathematics Classroom, Resources for the Secondary Mathematics Classroom and articles from the ATM Journal "Mathematics Teaching".

The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) provides a wide range of resources for use by teachers and students. Many of the materials link topics studied in the classroom to their applications in industry and research. In addition to interactive resources across the 5-19 age groups, this...

This resource features five inspiring people who developed Bridget, a six-wheeled ExoMars rover. 

Bridget is a prototype of the vehicle that will be the largest and most sophisticated vehicle ever to visit Mars.

Astrium is Europe’s largest space company, employing 3,500 people in the UK alone. Astrium produces some of the world’s leading edge earth observation, science and telecommunication satellites in one of the most exciting sectors of the engineering profession. 

In 2016, European Space Agency Astronaut, Tim Peake, carried out a series of experiments on the International Space Station, using equipment designed by the National Space Academy.

The overall programme includes the following topics from UK physics and chemistry secondary school curricula:

This video features Anu Ohja talking about the growth of the UK space sector and the involvement in of the UK in human spaceflight.

This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating circular motion.  In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects move in a circular path without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the...

This collection of videos show ESA Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the International Space Station, demonstrating the physics of collisions.  In this free-fall environment, Tim can demonstrate how objects collide without the observed effects of gravitational acceleration with similar experiments performed in the classroom...
