STEM Pathfinder Programme
The STEM Pathfinder programme, funded by the former Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and managed by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), aimed to enable and support networks of specialist schools to design, deliver and integrate STEM activities across their school. These aims were supported through…
Nuffield Advanced Science: Chemistry
The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry team set out to devise a course based on principles of the subject that were regarded as being of fundamental importance at the time. The authors adopted a teaching approach aimed at developing imaginative thinking on the part of students. The implications of this had been spelled out in detail in…
SATIS 16-19
The SATIS 16-19 project was set up by the Association for Science Education in September 1987 to build on the success of the Science and Technology in Society (SATIS) project which had already published a hundred units for students aged 14-16 year. Purposes The SATIS 16-19 project was a means of helping teachers to share good…

Science In a Social CONtext (SISCON)
Published by the ASE in 1983, SISCON was one of the early UK science courses to include topics with wide political implications. The aim of the course was to exhibit science as an endeavour rooted in the society which uses it. The project team aimed to widen the scope of science teaching by helping learners to arrive at an understanding…
Science in Society
A 1981 project which set out to bring non-specialist scientific literacy to the post-16 curriculum, Science in Society was one of the first high-profile UK science courses to include topics with wide political implications. A major influence on the choice and treatment of topics was the Club of Rome book (1972) called Limits to…
TI-Nspire
Materials to support the use of the TI-Nspire and enrich the classroom experience. The materials include STEM activities with TI-Nspire. The data handling features of TI-Nspire and the emphasis in the new secondary curriculum on real-life contexts, curriculum opportunities and cross-curricular dimensions all combine to give a…
NLN Materials
The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a wide range of subject and topic areas. The materials adopt a range of approaches involving some knowledge acquisition, a chance to practice and absorb, and some form of assessment to check…
STEM Subject Choice and Careers
The 2006 STEM Programme Report led to a significant government investment in STEM education, the STEM Programme. A key part of this Programme was to bring together industry and education to provide high quality careers education, information, advice and guidance for STEM subjects. This work comprised several strands, including a…
CIEC Promoting Science
Experienced teachers, working for CIEC Promoting Science, have created over 100 teaching and learning resources and a suite of interactive and informative websites for use by teachers and students. They show how science works in real-life contexts and demonstrate how the chemical industry is relevant to society. Resources cover…
Institute of Physics: Careers Clips
From the Institute of Physics, this collection of resources gives careers information for students, teachers and careers advisers. There is a set of video clips that follow the work of individual scientists as they show how physics is applied in their work. The video clips illustrate concepts in physics and how they are applied…
Stimulating Physics
The Stimulating Physics Programme ran from May 2006 to July 2009. Run by the Institute of Physics, with funding from HEFCE, the pilot programme's core aims were to find ways of increasing the numbers of students taking physics at A-level and progressing onto a degree in physics. In 2009 the Department for Education awarded…
