Other curated resources
The ASE has long been engaged with partners with an interest in science education, either through co-creation of resources or the assessment of externally produced materials. Some of those resouces are hosted on the ASE's schoolscience website, and those that have been assessed as having particular relevance to post-16/technial educators can be found here. Others are still hosted on the originating organisation's property, the resources listed below have been curated as part of the post-16 resource audit carried out in summer of 2022 - thanks to the support of the Gatsby Foundation...
