Engaging Schools in Cutting Edge Science: From the Educator’s Perspective
Richardson, Adrian
Hopkins, Della
2010
Abstract
The field of scientific research, by definition, is constantly
developing new techniques and adapting current thinking in order to address
pertinent issues. With curriculum constraints and exam-based teaching, it is
becoming increasingly challenging to engage young people in new ideas and
methods, and thus facilitate them in becoming the scientists of the future. A new
project developed though collaboration between the Cothill Educational Trust
and The Natural History Museum aims to develop a deeper understanding of
biodiversity science in pre-GCSE aged children, kindling a real excitement for
the science subjects at school.
