For higher ability pupils, this can be used a framework and notes for generating their own scientific report. **Teacher’s Notes **- Includes background information, experimental setup, and safety tips. Saves time on preparation and helps you focus on teaching. Introductory Presentation - A simple yet informative presentation to introduce the topic. Covers the basics and designed to spark interest and form the foundation for questions Designed to develop Enhances Scientific Inquiry - It’s a great way to introduce students to scientific methods and experimental science. The content aligns well with the post-primary science curriculum. Pre-prepared materials mean less time planning and more time engaging with your students. Practical Learning Experience - Hands-on activities make learning more impactful and memorable. Relevant Topic -With a growing focus on sustainable energy, understanding hydrogen fuel is more relevant than ever. This unit is designed to make your life easier and to make science more accessible and interesting for your students. It’s a practical, no-nonsense resource made by a teacher, for teachers.
