Over 150 practical science experiments videos are now available to support the Sciences National Qualifications. A further 80 are being edited and should be live by the end of April 2022. These films were developed by Education Scotland in response to requests from practitioners. Education Scotland would like to thank a range of partners for their generous support including: BBC Bitesize, Edinburgh Napier University, Institute of Physics, University of Glasgow, SSERC, University of Strathclyde and Aberdeen Science Centre. Personal thanks too to Ian Stewart (Beeslack Community High School), Colin McGill and to all those involved in supporting this work. Interactive assessments have also been developed to accompany 50 of these practical science videos. We’ll be adding these to the spreadsheet soon.
