Northumbria University Future Me resources
These resources were created as part of the North East Collaborative Outreach Programme funded by HEFCE. The work sheets use companies based in the North East of England as a context for science questions. Each worksheet has the same structure of ‘know, apply, extend’ to support young people to apply and develop their classroom knowledge. They were developed with the English National Curriculum in mind, but would also be suitable for other curricula.
