These resources utilise ways that careers information can be incorporated into science lessons, particularly practical work. It enables the science teacher to relate their subject specialism to potential learning pathways that students can follow. In turn, students can see where scientific content and skill sets...

When designing science accommodation, even a single laboratory, the aim is to provide attractive, well-equipped facilities that support pupils as they engage with and learn about science.
Exciting, high-quality practical work is a vital part of pupils’ science experience and provision for this is what makes...

In this Catalyst article the work of archaeologists working on the graves of World War One (WWI) victims is described. The total number of military dead in WWI is estimated at 8.5–10 million. In the mud and confusion, many of the dead did not have proper burials. Many temporary graves were destroyed by later...
