Here you will find a curated list of free online resources to help you teach neuroscience concepts in the classroom or revise at home. Furthermore, these resources are linked to specific points on your Biology syllabus to assist you in pinpointing exactly where they fit in.

Descriptive Statistics: Dispersion

Descriptive Statistics: Dispersion

A power point resource for teachers of biology, geography and environmental science for pupils studying at Advanced Higher, ( AS-Level, and above), and early FE/HE levels. Of use for helping to achieve a basic understanding and application of the ‘spread of data’ in fieldwork, assignments and examination questions. It complements the Guide to Descriptive Statistics in Geosciences. This resource is for Self guided learning for learners and teachers to use in Geography, Biology, Data Science for Advanced Higher.

Sow it, grow it, taste it

Sow it, grow it, taste it

An interdisciplinary approach to growing and tasting vegetables using experiences and outcomes in the sciences, health and wellbeing, numeracy and literacy. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in sciences, IDL for Early: age 3 to P1 (3-6 years old) .

Nothing Goes to Waste in Nature

Nothing Goes to Waste in Nature

The Earth system is full of cycles – a strong contrast to the often linear product pathways in our society. The organic matter cycle is one of them, it is easy to grasp with lots of potential for hands-on ecological science and outdoor learning! This resource is for teachers to use in sciences for First Level
.

Plants what they need to grow and why we need them

Plants what they need to grow and why we need them

This resource is aimed at Level 2 students studying plant germination and decay by microorganisms. Through this resource school learners develop their scientific knowledge, skills and scientific literacy in addition to honing their practical skills. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in sciences for Second (P5-P7).

Fertilisers in food production

Fertilisers in food production

Brief project covering both the life cycle of plants and where food comes from. The project involves growing baked beans ingredients and includes different recipes for having a baked bean “bake-off”. This resource contains a class workbook and a practitioner’s guide. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in sciences IDL for Second (P5-P7).

Bees and Biodiversity (including STEM)

Bees and Biodiversity (including STEM)

Three lessons on the contribution that bees make to our planet on the topics of pollination, bee diversity, and hexagons in the bee hive (STEM activity). This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences/maths for Second (P5-P7).
