One
of the benefits of post-16 vocational science courses, such
as GCE Applied Science, is that students become competent
in techniques and skills required in the workplace.
The international
ProBase project is developing problem-based activities imitating
real life situations. Students learn skills such as:
• using
scientific knowledge to solve problems
• working
in teams to solve problems
• communication
• managing
time and workload
• resource
and budget management.
4science
is working with several schools and colleges to develop and
trial chemistry and environmental science activities before
they go live on the ProBase
website – where they will be available for teachers and
students, free of charge.
The schools
currently trialling activities are:
Queen
Mary’s College, Basingstoke
Malmesbury
School, Malmesbury
Ringwood
School, Ringwood
We still
have some funding available for schools/colleges to trial
activities.
