DFES- The Standards Site (SCIENCE)

Many schools have their own scheme of work for science. They may, however, wish to review and develop it in the light of this scheme.

Virtual Teachers' Centre

From here you can access information and resources to support you as a science teacher. Use the navigation bar to find subject specific information including:

Subject resources: containing links to web sites that have been approved by subject specialists as having useful curriculum content. The curriculum: providing direct links to the National Curriculum documents, schemes of work and frameworks for teaching science. Tests and exams: this section provides links to the online examination syllabuses for science and links to revision materials.

ICT in the Science Curriculum

The purpose of this site is to promote and support the use of ICT within Science. The site is managed by Becta and contains information and material in five sections, to help you integrate ICT effectively.

Primary Resources

Lesson plans, activity ideas and resources for Primary Science teachers . The site gives access to a host of good resources including Assessment / Planning Sheets / Scientific Enquiry /Life Processes and Living Things/ Materials and their Properties/ and Physical Processes

Incredible resources if you're into using whiteboards.  Try the  3D virtual Earth globe for a start. This beautiful whole-class resource gives you a huge photographic globe of the Earth. Click on the arrows to rotate the globe clockwise or anti-clockwise. If you are not on broadband this resource may take a minute to download.
