In this activity  children are challenged to design and make a robotic arm to grab things from a distance. The challenge is based on robotic arms on the International Space Station used to move heavy equipment or perform delicate tasks. Children will:

  • discover relationships between the length of a...

Linking Careers to the STEM Curriculum is a careers resource aimed at teachers of science, design and technology, computing, engineering and mathematics. It offers immediate ideas to try, longer term solutions and resource recommendations for linking careers to lessons.

This guide will help you to:

The LAMP Project was sponsored by the Association for Science Education, to consider the teaching of science to less academically motivated students in secondary schools.

One of the main outcomes of this Project was a series of resource materials, or Topic Briefs, outlining possible science-based activities...

This Catalyst article examines malaria which is one of the world’s top ten diseases but an effective vaccine to combat it is yet to be discovered. Scientists in the Malaria Vaccine Group at Oxford are trying to overcome some very difficult problems using a new approach to vaccines.

This article is from...

With the reduction of interest in science subjects by students, the impact has led to a significant reduction in staffing levels across colleges. This project, although still in its early stages of development, has created a virtual science department beginning with physics to reverse the feeling of isolation and...

This resource contains six activities that link to Living Things and their Habitats. In this unit of learning, the children will use their learning to design their own ‘pop-up’ or interactive book which showcases the variety of life in our world. These activities are designed for use with mixed age groups classes...

This resource is suitable for pupils aged 11 to 14 and helps them learn the food groups, their role within the body, the types of food which make up a healthy diet, and the importance of eating a balanced diet.   The comprehensive teaching notes include food bingo cards and flash cards which include images to help...

 Students test a range of foods to find out if they contain protein, fat, reducing sugar and calculate how much energy is in each of the foods. Food tests include:

• Protein content - Biuret test

• Fat content – Emulsion test

• Reducing sugar content – Benedict’s test

• Starch content –...

Bridges are a huge feature of the River Thames. They also demonstrate important scientific ideas, and show how technology and engineering have evolved. An exhibition about bridges will be very welcome in local primary schools, or by younger or other year groups in your school, especially if the components are built...

The main aim of the agricultural crop industry is to produce crops to feed both humans and animals. Some arable farms have diversified into producing fruit, vegetables and non-food crops such as those grown for energy, materials like hemp for fibre and oils like lavender and linseed.

Career decisions are often based on areas of personal interest. 75% of 16-18 years said that they would be interested in careers in business, technology, science, engineering and working with animals.  A career in farming and food supply can be all these things.

Animal technology involves the husbandry, care and welfare of laboratory animals in scientific and bio-medical research and the carrying out of authorised procedures.
Animal research provides vital information to inform the development of new drugs and treatments for both humans and animals. The industry is...

Aquaculture is the farming of certain types of freshwater and marine fin fish and shellfish. There is also new technology in the farming of seaweed and sea urchins.

Arboriculture workers carry out a variety of jobs to care for and maintain trees, including cultivating, managing and studying individual trees.

Environmental conservation includes the management of landscapes, habitats and species in urban, rural, coastal and marine environments. It also covers public access, recreation and interpretation to help promote awareness, understanding and enjoyment of the environment.
