A simple pro-forma that supports auditing your science resources.

Guidance on equipment for practical science lessons and suggestions how to organise and store them.

This term we prepare for November with some safety advice for fireworks and a safe recipe for slime. We introduce two new projects, the Primary Science Quality Mark and Getting Practical. There's also a few tips on developing your school grounds.

This summer we get creative with some colour chemistry, learn how to raise caterpillars and butterflies, dissect some owl pellets and learn how to work safely with micro-organisms. There's also details of some free CPD from the Getting Practical programme and some of the more interesting calls to the helpline.
