This resource contains the first session of the Active Approaches to Level Three Applied Science, produced by the Science Learning Centres and the Nuffield Foundation. The session includes two activities: Gallery of quotes and Making sense of texts.

• Gallery of quotes - students are asked to read and respond to a set of quotes
• Making sense of text - an activity taken from the Learning Skills for Science (LSS) project in which students 'translate' and interpret a text about applied science into their own words using diagrams, charts or mind maps.

The presentation then discusses what makes a course 'applied' and why active learning is important.
