SPACE Research Reports
The Primary SPACE reports comprise a series of 10 research reports produced by the Primary Science Processes and Concepts Exploration project. The reports were published between 1990 and 1998 by Liverpool University Press and arise from a research project based jointly at the University of Liverpool and King’s College London,…
Salters' Science
Salters' Science was a complete teaching programme to provide an applications-led approach to double award science at Key Stage Four. It was followed by 'Science Focus', a Key Stage Three programme to illustrate a similar approach to teaching and learning in science. The Salters’ Science materials were developed…
Schools Council Integrated Science Project (SCISP)
The Schools Council Integrated Science Project (SCISP) was developed to meet the needs of the able 13-16 year old student. The accompanying GCE O level assessment led to a double certification. The sample scheme of work was devised and published in the early 1970s on the assumption that an average of one-fifth of a school's…
Nuffield Pathways Through Science
The Nuffield Pathways Through Science course was developed to align with the very innovative and successful modular science course created by the Northern Examining and Assessment Board (NEAB now merged into AQA). The Pathways scheme was planned as a flexible resource for teachers who wanted to plan their own programmes of work.…
Science 5/13
The Science 5/13 project, 1967 to 1975, was sponsored by the Schools Council, the Nuffield Foundation and the Scottish Education Department. It was the first project to state explicitly what it was hoped children aged 5-13 would achieve through work in science. This was set out in the guidelines to Objectives for Children Learning…
Catalyst
Catalyst is a topical magazine that offers features on a wide range of themes from the science curriculum bringing them to life with insights into cutting-edge research and practical applications of complex science in the world around us. Catalyst magazine is aimed mainly at science students aged 14-16. Many of its articles are written…
Research Councils UK
A collection of resources from each of the UK's Research Councils to support teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools. Please refer to the individual Councils' collections for details. Research Councils UK (RCUK) is the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils. These are: •Arts…
Big Bang Collection
Launched in 2009, The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists & Engineers Fair is the UK’s biggest single science and engineering experience for young people. Throughout 2011 the National STEM Centre will be supporting a rich resource collection of materials from the many organisations that are working to make The Big Bang a celebration…
Nuffield Science for Ages 11-14
In the early 1980s the Nuffield Foundation decided that a new scheme for the first two years of secondary school was needed to replace the very successful Nuffield Combined Science programme. The outcome of new developments was Nuffield 11-13 which was first published in 1986. Subsequently the 11-13 course was extended into a three…
Nuffield Junior Science
The Nuffield Junior Science project was part of the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project in the 1960s. In the publications, the project team suggested topics and methods to teachers interested in the contribution which science can make to the education of younger boys and girls. In all publications the authors included…
Nuffield Combined Science
Nuffield Combined Science was planned as a two-year course for students aged 11 to 13. It could be adapted for use with the whole range of ability. The course was very widely adopted. By 1979 it had been taken up, in whole or in part, by over half of all secondary schools. The basis for a common course The organizers set out…
The World of Science (New SATIS 14-16)
The World of Science was based on a selection of topics from ASE’s SATIS project. The publications contained the best of the thinking of the first project. Units that had stood the test of time were included but they were updated, shortened and amended in the light of experience. Many new units were devised for the project…
SATIS Revisited
The Association for Science Education (ASE) has updated and revitalised the groundbreaking SATIS (Science and Technology in Society) units from the 1980's and 90's. The units provide a wide range of strategies to cover the programme of study for How Science Works and the wide spectrum of science. Materials consist of…
Practical Action
Practical Action is a development charity which uses simple technology to fight poverty. The learning resources in this collection look at how issues such as climate change and the need for renewable energy can be tackled. The resources contain background information, teachers' packs, classroom activities, stimulus sheets and…
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…
SATIS
The Association for Science Education set up the SATIS project in 1984, to help teachers relate school science to its social and technological contexts.The units are a model for developing topical lessons to show applications of science, and illustrate aspects of ‘How science works'. The original SATIS (Science and…
