The CREST Awards scheme is the only nationally recognised accreditation scheme for STEM project work for 5-19 year olds. Around 40’000 students in the UK gain CREST Awards every year through investigations and enquiry-based learning, supporting them to solve real-life STEM challenges.

Benefits of...

CREST awards aim to encourage primary and secondary school students to undertake projects in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) related areas. Students' achievements can be recognised with awards at bronze, silver and gold levels.

These case studies describe how a range of schools have used...

CREST Awards help school students to undertake projects in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) related areas. Students' achievements can be recognised with awards at bronze, silver and gold levels. The resources in this section contain a series of project ideas that can be used to gain CREST Awards....

Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet covers black holes and the Schwarzschild radius. Included is an online video that discusses what is inside a black hole. Equations and physical terms are introduced and discussed. Questions and answers are included that test a student’s understanding of the...

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, begins with a video that names and describes some the different layers of the atmosphere, with the aim of explaining where the ...

This poster shows how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities. It features five electronics and engineering specialists working in the telecommunications industry. They develop a range of technology such as Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.

This video uses an anechoic chamber to investigate whether an echoless environment can significantly change our perceptions.

This video demonstrates how the eye tracks motion in such a way that determining whether an object is accelerating is very difficult. So, we need another way to measure motion.

This video demonstrates how a theory cannot be proved.  Theories at best allow observations to be explained at that time, but there may be other explanations still to be discovered. The scientific method is rigorous in attempting to disprove a theory. Only when we fail to disprove our theories do we say we have...

These resources are to support teams entering the UK CanSat Competition or European CanSat Competition.  Details of how to enter the competition can be found through https://www.stem.org.uk/esero/cansat for the UK competition, and ...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about capacitors at A level. Curriculum links include capacitance, the storage of energy and charge along with associated charging and discharging characteristics.
