Practical Work in Science Survey

We would like to invite you to participate in a unique and important piece of research into practical work in science in England and Scotland.

We want to hear from Heads of Science and Science Teachers from a wide variety of teaching environments to help us develop a greater understanding of what practical work in science means in today’s schools and colleges. The information provided by technicians last year was extremely insightful and we would like to hear from them again next year, in the final year of the study.

The survey takes 10 – 15 minutes to complete. To thank you for participating, we are offering everyone who fills in the survey a chance to win one of five £100 Amazon gift vouchers in a prize draw at the end of July.

The surveys can be accessed at the links below:

We are extremely keen to gather responses from as many Heads of Science (including Heads of individual Sciences) and Science Teachers as possible within each school, so please do ask as many colleagues as possible to complete a survey. 

We hope that you and your staff will participate in this year’s survey to become part of this exciting unfolding story about science practical work in schools.

This study is led by Durham University’s Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) and School of Education and is funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, with a contribution from the Wellcome Trust. The project is part of an on-going programme of work by Gatsby, Wellcome and the Nuffield Foundation to understand and improve practical work in science education.
