This is a resource published by the John Muir Trust. Please look at the CPD website for twilight training events which will be taking place in session 2019.
STEM on a Shoestring
Workshop from Highland STEM conference 2019 lead by Dr Kirsty Ross from the University of Strathclyde covering STEM Learning and Activities for Primary Classrooms
STEM a Story Resources from STEM Glasgow from Highland STEM Conference
Developed by Fife Council, STEAM a story is a resource which has been designed to incorporate STEAM activities to go alongside the Read, Write and Count book bags.
An interdisciplinary context for teaching and learning in Science Technology, Engineering and Maths.
Tinkercad is an easy-to-use 3D CAD design tool. Quickly turn your idea into a CAD model for a 3D printer with Tinkercad. It is great for going from junk modelling to design. You can also use it to make minecraft models and lego builds.
Energy4Me is a fun and engaging resource which explores fossil fuels from their formation in the ground, to how they are extracted. It also explores some of the products that are made from the fuels. It has been developed for CfE by Aberdeen Science Centre and incorporates many excellent STEM activities.
Titanic Science has been written by teachers for teachers, therefore it is designed to support, empower and inspire teachers to deliver high quality and engaging science lessons. Titanic Science tells the story of the greatest ship ever built and uniquely places science at the heart of her epic story. By working through the 15 investigations in the resource, pupils will learn how science played a pivotal part at the key moments of her story, from her construction to the tragedy of her sinking. Individual investigations can be used to highlight scientific concepts, or the whole resource can be used to examine the full story of Titanic. As a multi-disciplinary resource, it will also provide material for other curriculum areas, such as creative writing, history and numeracy.
