Outdoor Primary Science Resource from NAC 🔎🍃🐞

There are only a couple of days left until schools stop for summer, but with this great weather there is no better time that to encourage some STEM curiosity in the outdoors!

This is absolutely fantastic resource developed by the wonderful STEM team in North Ayrshire Council to support teachers , the NAC Early Level Outdoor Science Resource is beautifully put together with loads of high quality acitvities and links to support teachers with outdoor science.

Although this is branded for Early level, with a little bit of tweaking this resource is perfect for First and even Second level too – have a look!  Access here using this link or you can find it on Education Scotland’s STEM Nation glow blog.

More fantastic RAiSE resources now added! 🤩

You may have already checked out the RAiSE Science Planning Resource – a great tool to support  teachers in planning for science around the experiences and outcomes from early to second level.

The RAiSE network have also created a similar resource to support teachers with Technologies – this Technologies Planning Resource is such a great document for anyone feeling less than confident with teaching any aspect of the Technologies Experiences & Outcomes!

You can find these documents here in the Resources section of this glow blog or visit the Education Scotland STEM Nation glow blog for loads more resources and STEM support!
