Contemporary science issues: lessons for key stage 4

These resources were developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in collaboration with Keele University in order to provide support for teaching aspects of ‘How Science Works’. The emphasis of the materials is on ‘data, evidence, theories and explanations’ linked to ‘applications and implications of science’, addressed through contemporary science issues. Originally published as a CD-ROM, the pack comprises a set of 18 lessons (six each for physics, chemistry and biology). Each lesson is supported by a complete set of resources, lesson plans, technical advice, worksheets and assessment materials. The lessons are in Word or PowerPoint format, so that they can be adapted as necessary.
