Evaluation of the Wellcome Trust Primary Science Specialist Programme
Published in 2015, the Wellcome Trust worked with the National STEM Learning Centre and Network to develop an intensive CPD programme for primary teachers with the aim of improving their expertise to become effective leaders of science in their schools. The Trust commissioned the University of York to help them...
Evolution *suitable for home teaching*
Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine. Why does Darwinian evolution raise controversy when, say, quantum mechanics scarcely registers on the public consciousness?
...Exercise, energy and movement
Produced by the Wellcome Trust, this issue of the Big Picture looks at the physiology and sociology of exercise and movement.
For humans, movement is for more than just basic survival. They move for fun, to compete and to be healthy. This resource looks at the biological systems that keep humans moving and...
Experimenting in space
|
Exploiting the lack of gravity in experiments carried out in space can yield information that might take much longer to find on earth on earth, but how is it achieved? |
Exploring genomes
|
Compare genomes of different organisms, get to grips with sequencing techniques, understanding the coding of genes, the importance of RNA |
Exploring Issues: a Teachers' Guide
Produced by the Citizen Science project, this teacher guidance summarises ideas on how to run successful discussions and debates within the secondary classroom. Examples illustrate how a range of techniques, such as TV chat show formats, can be used successfully.
These materials will help teachers to:...
Fast food chains
In this set of activities aimed at ages 6-7, children explore food chains of different animals, including humans. They learn about food chains in different parts...
Fat is essential. In these articles we get to grips with the world of fats and lipids to find out what they do, not just inside us and other organisms but also understand our dependence on fats and relationship with the world around us.
Fat
Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine.
Fat is a word that carries a lot of weight, conjuring up topics as diverse as obesity, hibernating animals, and what we eat and how we cook it. This issue of the Big Picture looks at the fats and lipids to find...
Fat at the cellular level
|
Lipids are essential components of membranes and even communication. |
