Get inspired to develop practical work
RSC Education Prizes: celebrating innovation in practical work
28 April 2022, 4–5pm (BST), online
Join us for a live panel discussion, chaired by Professor Dudley Shallcross, showcasing inspiring examples of developing practical work from some of our 2021 Education Prize winners. Hear from Rebecca Lamb (Team Prize for Excellence in Primary Education), Bob Worley (Excellence in Secondary and Further Education Prize), Professor Bhavik Patel (Excellence in Higher Education Prize) and Professor Michael Seery (Nyholm Prize for Education), as they share ideas on a wide range of topics from preparing students for practical work to developing confidence with microscale practicals.
Engage your students with microscale practicals
We've collected all our microscale resources and articles in one brilliant bonanza to help you and your students. Discover how and why microscale can help your students observe, connect and relate to practical work. Microscale experiments are safer, easier to set up, and can be carried out using only small quantities of chemicals and basic apparatus. From a microscale escape-the-classroom activity to redox, displacement and diffusion, there's plenty to explore.
Sustainability contexts for your curriculum teaching
Explore the science of sustainability with your primary students
Science holds the answers to many of our world’s sustainability issues. Our sustainability contexts for primary science include 20 different topic webs designed to grab the attention of young learners by linking your existing curriculum teaching to sustainability. Each topic web explains the background science, highlights the work that scientists are doing to help build a more sustainable world, and suggests activities to try in the classroom.

Recognise your technical workforce
Apply for the Technical Champions quality mark
Technicians are an essential part of any successful school or college staff – and yet they are often underutilised and their roles not fully understood. The new Technical Champions scheme is a quality mark accrediting UK schools that fully support and recognise the importance of their technical workforce.
Accreditation lasts for three years, and any secondary school or FE college in the UK is eligible to apply. If your application is successful, you’ll receive a certification pack, digital banners for web and print, as well as detailed feedback and continued online support.
