CREST has created a fantastic Bronze Award SEND resource. The ‘Pizza Box Project‘ allows students to work like scientists, designers and engineers as they learn about packaging construction to design and make their own strong pizza boxes and put them to the test. “During the project, there’s the option to make a pizza template to check box size or make and use a real pizza – DELICIOUS!

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

A barrier island is a long, narrow island that runs parallel to the mainland coast. It is separated from the mainland by a body of water, such as a lagoon, or a sound which is a relatively narrow body of water between the mainland and an island. Barrier islands are formed by sediment that is transported by waves and currents from the mainland. They protect the mainland from erosion and storm surge.

River deltas form when a river carrying sediment reaches a body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. As rivers flow they pick up small particles,rocks, sand and other items created from weathering and erosion. Erosion is the process in which materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.As a river enters a body of water like an ocean, or a lake it slows down and the sediment will begin to be deposited.

A Framework for K-12 Science Education (National Research Council, 2012) served as the foundation for the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013a). During the past decade, 20 states and the District of Columbia adopted the NGSS, and 28 additional states developed their own standards based on the Framework. The NGSS are expected of all students, hence “all standards, all students” with a focus on equity (NGSS Lead States, 2013b).

Urban farming for urban families Published: Our well-being is intimately linked to the food that we eat and the places where it is grown. Healthy soils produce nutrient-dense food, which helps us stay healthy, both in body and in mind. For those of us who live in cities, it can be difficult to find fresh, good quality, local food. At 15th Street Farm in Florida, USA, Emmanuel Roux and Professor David Himmelgreen run an education project to help local families learn about their local food systems
