Science teachers working in schools and colleges in the UK and Ireland are invited to enter the Rolls-Royce Science Prize 2008/09

To take part in the two-year competition teachers must form and lead a team comprising a minimum of three and maximum of six adults; staff from different schools and colleges can collaborate to form a team. An institution may enter more than one team in the competition. Teams must develop a sustainable science-teaching proposal that addresses a specific need in their institution. The proposal may form part of an existing school/college improvement plan for science teaching.  

Previous competition entries are held in a database on the website. By sharing examples of innovation, the prize aims to contribute to the continuing professional development of science teachers. 

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
