The Science with Technology focused units were each planned to concentrate on a particular aspect of a topic. The units were created as part of a joint initiative of the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association.

The Science with Technology Tool kit consisted of a series of three units designed to
provide students with opportunities to acquire a range of key skills valued by business and industry in a way that also supports their own work.

A study of science, maths and technology equips students with a wide range of very valuable skills that employers in the land-based and environmental sector want. A career in the land-based sector will enable students to apply those skills to provide food as well as a beautiful and healthy environment for everyone...
