Research is an integral part of science. These free resources help embed real world research in the classroom so that students gain a better understanding of how science works.
This series of resources have been developed by the Association for Science Education for their RCUK funded series ‘Research focused teaching resources to inspire students in STEM Careers’.
Whilst using these activities teachers may wish to show students the original research paper (see link provided in resource) and use this to illustrate how scientists share their research and discuss the need for peer review before publication. This supports coverage of Working Scientifically (England).
