Free polymer courses for teachers

Secondary science teachers in the UK are invited to register for a free, four day residential Polymer Study Tour. The tours are designed to improve participants' knowledge and understanding of the polymer curriculum. The courses bring together teachers in an informal environment to exchange views on the teaching of this cross-curricular subject.

The tours include a mixture of lectures, laboratory and workshop sessions and visits to plastics processing companies. The sessions are delivered by leading figures from industry and academia. Delegates are provided with curriculum teaching resources that promote the knowledge of polymers and their importance to everyday life. All accommodation, meals and refreshments are included.
