Science Council
Applying Science Teaching Resources
This set of ten video case studies, from around 2010, illustrate a range of technician roles that use science and mathematics. The examples feature young college students and apprentices who talk about their area of study or work and who have a clear career route in mind.
The case studies cover:
- Animal care
- Dispensing optics
- Electrical engineering
- Electrical installation
- Horticulture
- Landbased technology
- Plumbing
- Service engineering
- Sports science
- Vehicle maintenance
Each video is accompanied by curriculum-related activities relevent to the topic covered. A background document, available from the link below, sets out some of the options available to students at age 16 and the role of technicians.
These videos were created as part of the Future Morph programme from the Science Council and date from 2008. Although historic, many are still relevant and useful today.
More details about the current activity of the Science Council can be found on their website, which includes the professional registration award for educators, Chartered Science Teacher (CSciTeach).

Case Study: Service Engineering
Produced for Future Morph, this video sees an apprentice in service engineering talk about his work. Service engineers are mechanical engineers who work on equipment such as engines and gearboxes. The student describes how his attendance at college fits with his job in an engineering business and allows him to...
Case Study: Sports Science
Produced for Future Morph, these materials contain a video clip showing a student talking about his National Diploma course in Sport and Exercise Science. He describes how science, physiology and psychology are important aspects of his studies as well as the careers his course can lead on to.
...Case Study: Vehicle Maintenance
Produced for Future Morph, this video clip shows an apprentice in motor vehicle maintenance talking about her work and college course. She describes how a car's engine is tested to find a fault with its fuelling. An additional activity describes a classroom demonstration that shows the products of hydrocarbon...
Case Study: Horticulture *suitable for home teaching*
Produced for Future Morph, these resources include a video and a classroom activity. In the video, two First Diploma in Horticulture students show how they repot plants and describe the display they helped to produce for the Devon County show. A classroom activity encourages students to clone a plant by taking...
