We have created a wide range of STEM related curriculum materials with a 'Careers Theme' designed for STEM teachers - but which can also be adapted for use in enrichment activities. All activities include a real world context and links to more careers resources.
Physics Focus There are two sets of Physics resources for Key stage 4 - designed for all students to encourage the take up of physics post 16 - they are also designed to particularly encourage more girls to see the careers physics can lead to (seeing with new eyes and my space your space our space outer space). Seeing with new eyes is available in three sub sections - Workshop Leader, Challenge 1 materials and Challenge 2 materials.
Science Focus There are sixteen sets of science curriculum materials available in the store cupboard (you can find some of these on upd8 website link below). They cover a wide range of Key Stage 3 science topics and can also be adapted for use in after school science clubs or with ambassadors and in enrichment.
Mathematics Focus
There are now a full range of maths curriculum materials for maths teachers at Key Stage 3 (working internationally, taking a risk, carbon footprints, packaging design, dispensing, working in tourism, artistic triangles, pentagon patterns and logistics). There are also a full range of short maths careers lesson starters. All of these are also suitable for use in after school clubs or enrichment.
Design and Technology Focus We worked with the Design and Technology Association (DATA) to produce a set of Key stage 3 D&T curriculum resources that have a careers theme. These can all be found on the DATA website link below searching under STEM Careers Resources.
Harry Potter - Science or Magic? A series of classroom and holiday activities inspired by the Harry Potter stories. Available to download as a pdf document, pages can also be used separately.
