In this podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Sue Nelson goes to the Eden Project in Cornwall, southwest England and to the South Downs in southeast England to find out what butterfly research is telling us about climate change. As well as the bad news...

This collection of resources developed by CANDO (Controlling Abnormal Network Dynamics using Optogenetics) examines the structure and function of neurons and neural technology advances. The neurological condition epilepsy is focused upon and the future use of bio-electric implants as a preventative treatment. 

Josh found school challenging but undertook a BTEC Level 2 computing course, studied for a Microsoft apprenticeship and was runner up apprentice of the year. Following an apprenticeship at eCourier he became manager of the technical department and appointed as Microsoft Apprenticeship Ambassador .Now...

These buying guides from CLEAPSS look at what should be considered before investing in key pieces of school laboratory equipment, as well as listing the essential and desirable features.

These guides focus on:
* Low-voltage power supplies
* Portable autoclaves and pressure cookers
*...

As a technician sometimes you need to make equipment for practical work that might be hard to source, unavailable or too expensive to buy in. 

CLEAPSS have developed a range of make it guides that can support you in creating resources for practical work. The make it guides are easy to follow and allow you to...

The CLIS approach stressed the importance of recognising and building on the learner’s existing ideas and challenging any misconceptions that learners may have. It was based on a constructivist theory of learning. The theory was refined and developed through the...

The work of the Children’s Learning in Science Project (CLIS) was based on a view of learning which assumes that learners are actively involved in constructing meanings. Implicit in the teaching approach is the assumption that learning does not simply involve ‘taking in’ new ideas, but that the learner may need to...

The aim of the Children’s Learning in Science Project (CLIS) was to discover how to use a constructivist approach to teach selected topics, and translate this into materials which could be used by teachers. The teaching strategies suggested to achieve the CLIS objectives in lessons include a focus on the use of: *...
