I am very happy to introduce a new program of STEM resources I have been working on. Over the next couple of years I am developing and resourcing a high quality STEM program mainly focused on Y8 pupils but can clearly be adapted for other ages. My idea is to share all the resources (free of charge) to any school or institution who wishes to run the practical experiences for their own pupils. Unlike some resources that you download from various sites, the idea is that these really do work and have all the things present you need to actually teach the topic without a lot of fuss. I only have two requests if you use the resources; firstly you don’t try and sell any of the resources or concepts I have put together. Some have been nearly 20 years in the making and refining from myself and Science teachers across the world and are not for sale. Some images are not copyright free and are mine or from other sites. My second request is that if you have found the resources useful please let me know and write me a paragraph with your details and any positive comments. I will not share these comments widely but clearly help with development. Click on the contact field at the bottom my site. If you are looking to start up a STEM club this is your place for high quality resources, 1st term is now completed, so come back soon for more. https://animatedscience.co.uk/stem-timetable-introduction

This resource has been created from the exhibits shown at the Minerals Gallery at the Natural History Museum in London. Each item has been photographed in the case and then information compiled from open sources to enable students / teachers to explore rocks and minerals in greater detail. Each slide has a QR code to enable students from KS3-5 to do further research and there is an accompanying worksheet with some ideas. Please feel free to adapt for non commercial use in schools for educational purposes. However, all photographs are the property of www.animatedscience.co.uk with a compressed version available for this here. http://animatedscience.co.uk/gallery/ and original images available by request for commercial projects or educational publishers.

Here is a set of 18 KS3 revision resources for SMART Science based on the two year KS3. Each quiz is designed to fit the scheme and has some challenging questions in a HTML5 format from KS4 as well to see if you can push them. You can view these quizzes on any device you have, they will all work, big screen or small and will keep pupils happy for ages.
