To allow students to continue their learning whilst studying at home our Big Questions are a way of enabling pupils to make cross curricular links and relate their learning to the world around them. A Big Question is a way of guiding pupils to make links between distinct subject areas and relate them to the world around them. We have chosen 6 Big Questions and added the resources your pupils / children will need to be able to form a detailed and considered response. The questions span a range of areas; human performance, design, the environment and technology. The Big Question projects may be used for teaching science or design technology curriculum, or as part of a cross curricular project across multiple subjects (including English and humanities). Our Big Question topics include: • What impact have advances in materials science had on boat design? • What does it take to become an elite athlete? • How do you design a winning America’s Cup boat? • How can we design a product to minimise it’s impact on the environment? • How has innovation and technology impacted performance in sport? • What does it take to win the America’s Cup – the world’s oldest sporting trophy?

This forms part of a comprehensive package of resources to support the behavioural change required in schools as we manage the impact of COIVD-19. Intended to ease the anxiety that might be felt by some students through providing knowledge, clear practical steps and the support of key sports stars from across INEOS Sports teams. They have been using a ‘ZERO Days’ approach for years to minimise illness where it has become part of their normal everyday approach. Learning Objectives Explain how bacteria, fungi and protists cause illness Describe how bacteria, fungi and protists live and reproduce Compare how viruses and bacteria reproduce and make us unwell Explain how the spread of pathogen can be reduced or prevented. Lesson Description In this, the second of three curriculum linked Biology lessons covering infection and response, we cover bacteria, fungi, and protists. Students research the life cycle and how each causes illness before going on to make recommendations to the sports teams about how the risk of infection can be reduced. This knowledge is then applied to COVID-19 reduction strategies in school. The intention being to make the strong contextual link between curriculum learning and everyday life, ensuring scientific knowledge informs daily practice and behavioural change, just as it does for INEOS Sports teams.

A tutor group style lesson resource designed to help students understand, normalise, and take ownership of the new control measures required on their return to school because of COVID-19. The aim is to help remove the anxiety that is likely to be felt by many students in coming back to school in a COVID world. Taking inspiration from the INEOS Sports teams and their proven team approach to delivering ZERO days lost to illness, the lesson takes students through risk assessing their own activities in relation to COVID-19 and reflecting on the need not just to protect themselves but each other within and outside the school. Learning Objectives Identify how we currently successfully manage hazards and risk in our everyday lives Know what COVID-19 is, how it is spread and how it makes us ill. Describe how we can protect ourselves and others from COVID-19. Know who we are protecting and why it is important we all adopt a team approach.
