Enrichment and Enhancement
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these case studies describe work done by practitioners to develop enrichment and enhancement activities for students studying STEM-based subjects.
These projects, drawn from across the FE and skills sector, present a wide range of possible ways of enhancing learners’ experience of STEM, including:
• Real-world applications
• Community outreach
• Linking with scientists
• Collaboration with schools
• Cutting-edge research and technology.
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.
Developing a STEM Enrichment Programme
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of enrichment and enhancement in STEM, employer engagement and knowledge and technology transfer. By the National Marine Aquarium, the study demonstrates the potential for informal learning institutions to create significant STEM…
Developing STEM in the Community
Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study tackles the theme of enrichment and enhancement in STEM. From Newcastle College, it describes an outreach project bringing local community organisations together with teaching staff. By demystifying simple health tests (e.g. blood pressure monitoring)…
Enriching Engineering With Projects For an External Client
Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service, these materials help to demonstrate effective practice. This case study looks at the themes of knowledge and transfer technology as well as enrichment and enhancement in STEM. This project has been developed since 2007 by Leicester College, in partnership with the National…
Improving Progression in STEM
Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at a collaborative project with seven providers from the Learning and Skills Sector working with STEMNET in the North West of England. The study describes how providers were identified who were interested in embedding enrichment and enhancement…
Running an 'Anatomy Club' for L3 Science
Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service, these materials help to demonstrate effective practice. This case study, from Loughborough College, looks at the theme of enrichment and enhancement of STEM. Basic anatomy teaching has all but disappeared from current curricula and thus good anatomical teaching is being lost.…
STEM Learning Through Space
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of enrichment and innovation in STEM. It describes how Leeds City College's STAR Centre enables learners of all ages to engage with STEM subjects through the context of space. The centre provides a unique learning environment…
