Working with Science: Mini Units

Mini-Units were included in Working with Science because some teachers reported that for some students an eight-week unit was too long. They were designed to be completed in two or three weeks and were used to start a Working with Science course, or to fill in, towards the end of a term.

Ten of the Mini-Units stood the test of time. These units were revised and included in the CPVE edition of the programme. Only the revised versions are included here in the eLibrary. Guidance for these units appears in the Tutors’ Handbook. .
