A field guide for use with identifying species on a field trip. Made with a specific location and field trip in mind but all the species are very common across the UK and could be used in most places. The field guide is separated into sections including Grassland (44 species) Trees (28 species) Pond Life (20 species) Invertebrates (32 species) Mammals (16 species) Birds (52 species) Also included are the species record sheets that we used and the PowerPoint presentation used to introduce the students to the field trip at the start of the day including how to use the field guides.

A lesson looking at Women in Science and the contributions they have made, hopefully inspiring young girls in Schools to consider a career in STEM fields. Starter: Work out what all the pictures have in common (all discoveries made by women), match up the questions to the percentage answers. Main:Task 1- complete the 'Women In Science Factfind' worksheet using the computers. Task 2- Create a factfile about a particular woman in Science. 5 factfiles to go through as a class to give them an idea of what to include. Plenary: Sharing in pairs information about their woman in Science, then presenting to the group interesting facts about their woman in Science. Homework: Produce a poster or leaflet to persuade more women / girls to get into scientific fields of work. The last slide has links to different organisation that work to get more women into scientific fields of work.
