This resource from Renewable UK illustrates the wide range of careers available in the UK's renewable energy industry.

...

The videos in this collection from teachers TV are aimed at secondary school science practitioners. They contain materials that can be used in the classroom, as stimulus material.

Clips in this section cover a wide range of topics, including:
* astronomy, space and the solar system
* Earth...

A collection of primary and secondary resources on various topics linked to climate change. This collection supports STEM Learning’s Climate Change Education Partnership which brings together partners from education, research and the wider STEM sector to support climate change related lessons and activities in...

A collection of resources linked to climate change themes suitable for secondary aged students. Themes include but are not limited to, global warming, recycling and sustainability, flooding, pollution, renewable energy, the carbon cycle, the greenhouse effect and global goals for sustainable development.

This Mathematics Matters case study, from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematical models try to understand the causes of rogue waves. These huge waves appear without warning, towering high over ships and oil rigs. Traditional mathematical models could not predict the occurrence...

Earth Observation (EO) scientists collect information about the Earth – the land, the sea and the atmosphere – using sensors carried on satellites, aircraft, ships, buoys floating on the ocean and thousands of weather stations around the world. There is now a great deal of data available and scientists are finding...

This Catalyst article describes the work of scientists detecting changes in the oceans. The working lives of three oceanographic scientists who are investigating the Gulf Stream are examined, as is the requirement for them to work closely with experts in other fields, such as: engineers, software developers and...

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at the serious problem of coastal erosion. Much of the UK’s coastline is undergoing erosion, placing homes, businesses and other important coastal sites at risk. Mathematical modelling can enable us to understand both the short and long term processes that lead to erosion,...

A series of videos, from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in which environmental scientists describe their work, what they enjoy most and how important their choices of A levels were. Environmental science covers a wide range of different careers with a common goal of understanding how our planet...
