The film clips in this collection were produced by Pumpkin Interactive, whose aim is to provide case studies of real life applications to illustrate some of the more complex scientific concepts and theories. Themes covered include: forces and motion, waves and imaging and electricity generation, transmission and...

This cross curricular resource explores the difference that growing pumpkins can make to the lives of people living in flood affected regions in Bangladesh. It includes finding out about Bangladesh and its people and ways to address poverty, investigating the pumpkin lifecycle and seed germination, designing and...

The Pupil Researcher Initiative (PRI) was a major UK school science curriculum development initiative. The overriding aim of PRI was to raise student motivation and achievement in school science through providing exciting innovative and stimulating curriculum materials and activities. The briefs were intended to...

Pupil Research Briefs (PRBs), produced by the Centre for Science Education, were designed to support the teaching and learning of science (including the separate sciences) at GCSE and Scottish Standard Grade levels. Each brief was targeted at a topic within the curriculum at the time.

Most PRBs also provided...
