These resources utilise ways that careers information can be incorporated into science lessons, particularly practical work. It enables the science teacher to relate their subject specialism to potential learning pathways that students can follow. In turn, students can see where scientific content and skill sets...

Published in September 2010, this summary of an online survey focusses on attempting to understand the factors relating to the retention of science teachers.

This resource supports students in carrying out independent investigations.  It helps them to choose, plan, carry out and write up an in-depth scientific investigation.

Students will use a checklist to critically assess a report of a scientific investigation, and then summarise their findings. The checklist itemises all the important information that should be included in a scientific report and the scientific processes that should have been employed in the investigation.
