This Powerpoint looks at the 2023 British Science week theme of Connections. Students will be prompted to make acid connections with everyday substances. The substances are those that students are familiar with but wouldn’t necessarily associate acids with. There is also a simple practical for students to complete at home using the acid and other resources found in their kitchen.

This is a ready made poster that you can print out on A3 paper and display around your school to advertise this year’s science week under the theme, “Connections”. The activities box could be amended to fit your plans. Simply print , write in the activity of choice and then photocopy.

This PowerPoint consists of 18 slides looking at the transferable skills used by those working in STEM-related jobs. You could use this PowerPoint to introduce the Science week activity labelled unlocking skills. You could even award students with certificates for a stem skill that they demonstrate well during science week. As an extension, you could have students research a scientist of their choice and identify examples of when they used various stem skills.

This is a 25 slides PP lesson on the connection between air pollution and the transportation medium that we use each day. The pollutants given off and their effects are discussed along with opportunities given for exam application, a class survey and poster making.

This PowerPoint is a visual representation of the Science week task connect with nature. The 17 slides outline the importance of tress in our environment, then outline step by step the task of students identifying a tree and going about making observations to check the health of the tree.

This Powerpoint looks at items that students interact with daily at school but have perhaps never considered the connections of them with atoms. For each item, students are expected to identify the atoms making up the items and then complete stretch and challenge tasks about these atoms. This lesson could be used with a higher year 9 or mid year 10 group. Students could be set the task to research the atoms in the items and come to lessons prepared to have the discussions. This would elicit some interest in the task to be completed.
