The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) produces classroom resources and teacher guidance to help highlight the links between classroom science and science-based industry. Resources in this collection contain information about the chemical and plastics industries as well as practical guidance about...

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.

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....

This report sets out the recommendations of an independent Review of Teachers’ Standards, chaired by Sally Coates. The review was launched by the Secretary of State in March 2011 with a remit to review the existing framework of professional standards for teachers. The Review Group comprises excellent teachers, head...

From the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these circuits allow students to build a range of devices. Each circuit has a full circuit diagram, component list and explanation of how the circuit works. In this section, the circuits cover a range of security devices...

Developed with funding from the Department for Education, these video clips show interviews with young professionals working in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) sectors. The films introduce some of the exciting careers that students may access by studying STEM subjects. The professionals...

A case study from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) archives which looks at how ailing aircraft could heal themselves during flight thanks to a revolutionary new system. The technology, that mimics the healing processes found in nature, has been developed by aerospace engineers at...

A Catalyst article about a group of young scientists testing scientific claims in advertising. The group thought many claims sounded implausible. They decided to hunt for the scientific evidence behind them and challenge the manufacturers to explain how the products work. The article outlines the investigations...

Share supports students to define their idea, visualising it, and tell its story.

This stage involves:  

• Finalising your design idea
• Visualising ideas, for example hand sketching, technical drawing, 3D modelling, photography  
• Creating a clear written narrative on what it is,...
