ExperimentsAtSchool
ExperimentsAtSchool allows students to collect and analyse experimental data to draw practical conclusions in subjects including science, geography and psychology. Aimed at students aged 7 to 16, the experiments help them to develop and improve their data handling and statistical skills.
Each experiment has associated activity sheets and teachers' notes which give the aim and objectives of the experiment and suggest possible investigations the children could undertake using that particular experiment.
The Project was originally launched in 2003 with the support of the Department of Education, Specialist Schools Trust and the Association for Science Education, and worked in conjunction with the Centre for Effective Learning in Science at Nottingham Trent University. It is now run from Plymouth University by the ICSE (International Centre for Statistical Education).
