BRaSSS Resources

The Broadening Secondary School Science, or BRaSS initiative, seeks to develop teachers’ and students’ understanding and insight about:-

• how knowledge works
• cross-curricular links in science 
• the place of ethics in science teaching
• the value of using research projects in science teaching

Science teachers are also encouraged to explore teaching approaches more commonly used in other subjects such as open-ended discussion, role play or designing and testing objects. The BRaSS project has been funded by a grant to UCL Institute of Education from the Templeton World Charity Foundation as part of their ‘Big Questions in Classrooms’ initiative.
