Welcome to the Teachers' Section

INTERACTIVE CONTENT

Interactive resource on this site link the science taught in schools to its use in the workplace and, particularly, to the treatment of disease. Materials cover topics within the school curriculum from primary through to post-16, with information, animations and ‘test yourself’ quizzes.

Biological GCSE topics covered include:
Diabetes
Genes and inheritance
Heart and circulation
Hormones

Some of the content is useful in other areas of the curriculum, including PSHE/Citizenship, History, PE, Religious Studies, Health & Social Care.

A full list of the topics covered in the interactive resources for all ages is available.

RESOURCE LIBRARY

This new section to the website, the Resource Library allows you to search for animations, diagrams, posters and worksheets on a wide variety of topics to use in your teaching.

They can be downloaded for use offline by teachers and students in educational settings as stated in the terms and conditions for the resource library.

CURRICULUM LINKS

The information on Curriculum Links for each Interactive Content Topic has been updated with links to How Science Works and other changes to the curriculum. This is a continuous project with amendments being made all the time as we aim to keep abreast of ongoing curriculum changes.
 

For more teacher-focused information on how you can use the Interactive Content found on this site, please refer to the About the Resources section. Further resources such as classroom activities, worksheets, fact sheets and posters can be found using the Resource Library.
