These resources are produced by CIEC Promoting Science and are designed to illustrate the value and benefits of agricultural science to the community.

Materials involve students in a range of active learning, developed from real life contexts or 'stories' taken from the agrochemical industry. The materials also provide suggestions for involving representatives from farming or horticulture in the activities.

HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
