Our resources have always centred on the 'Thinking Skills' required to develop and understand scientific models and concepts. The new programme of study has embraced this approach and we are confident our resources will ensure both the teaching and learning of science is an imaginative and enjoyable experience, challenging highly able pupils whilst motivating all. Each resource pack is available as PowerPoint presentations supported by Worksheets or as a photocopiable book of worksheets alone. Both versions have a comprehensive teacher guide, summary and suggested answers!

Coming Soon:

* Primary: We have linked with 'Brilliant Publications' to allow you to purchase 'Activities for Gifted & Talented pupils' - a highly recommended publication of worksheets to photocopy for KS2. All subjects are covered, and the theory behind the learning style is fully documented. We are currently developing PowerPoint presentations to provide stimulating lessons for Gifted & Talented pupils in keystage 2. The resource packs will be similar in format to those for keystage 4 - five lessons, fully supported by teacher literature and student sheets to photocopy.

* Hometime: Projects and experiments for students to conduct or research when at home - supported by relevant exam questions. There will be information and resources for parents to use with their children, that will challenge the scientifically gifted - maintaining their enthusiasm for the subject and increasing their understanding.
