Engaging secondary science students in museums
Some places are available at the "Real World Science" project conferences listed below; please get in touch with the contacts shown if you would like to book a place or to find out more.
Real World Science is a partnership between the Natural History Museum, the Manchester Museum, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and Tyne & Wear Museums, funded by the DfES/DCMS Strategic Commissioning Education Programme. Following on from the publication of the consultative report ‘How can natural history museums support secondary science teaching and learning?’ the partnership would like to offer a series of free, one day conferences exploring ways in which museums with natural history collections can support the secondary science curriculum and engage and inspire students to progress in scientific study.
Conference venues will each have a range of speakers covering the breadth
of:
- Consultation results, looking at what secondary science teachers want from museums.
- Matching the science curriculum (KS3 to AS/A-Level) to your museum collections, galleries and expertise.
- Case studies: developing resources and programmes for secondary students across life and earth sciences.
