Engage with the process of encouraging peer instruction in the science classroom through ‘Students as Teachers’, or use our activity sheet ‘Early Bird Nature Detectives Bingo’ to get students to observe (non-human) life in their backyards.
Use our ‘Science Lab’ section to get your students to calculate their molar masses (!) or understand pressure and volume through simple experiments with easily available low-cost materials.
Discover the chemicals in everyday phenomenon through ‘The Scent Orchestra of Flowers’ & ‘The Chemistry of Life’.
Explore the concept of energy from three very different perspectives with ‘The Mystery of Dark Energy’, ‘Powering (human) Life on Earth’ & ‘Clean Energy’. Plus, enjoy our two pull-out posters on ‘Doppler Effect’ and ‘Some interesting scents of flowers’.
