Take A Look At The Latest Free Resources From The BP Educational Service

More than 19,000 UK schools are already using free learning resources from the BP Educational Service, which works with teachers and pupils to create high quality, flexible resources for use in schools.

Focused around science, geography, maths, business studies and enterprise, the resources engage students of all ability levels and provide a mix of online activities, video, animation and virtual experiments.

All the resources have been closely matched to UK curricula, using topics and terminology that will be familiar to you and your students. The resources are supported by worksheets, detailed teacher guidance and lesson plans.

For more than 45 years, BP has been working to address the STEM skills gap in the UK through targeted investment at all levels of education. Today, the BP Educational Service is a comprehensive programme contributing to every stage of education. An estimated 2.8 million UK students have benefited from the programme over the past five years.

Where’s the Science in That?

The new Where’s the Science in That? resources put science in a real-life context and give students aged 7-14 a better understanding of how STEM applies to everyday life. This set of interactive resources demonstrates that science isn’t just for science labs – it’s for everyone and it’s all around us every day.

Where’s the Science in That? helps students to explore the everyday science found in familiar settings such as airports, theatres and at home. The resources include video challenges to help bring your lessons to life.

Where’s the Science in That? is informed by the findings of Enterprising Science, a five-year partnership between King’s College London, BP and the Science Museum, which uses the concept of ‘science capital’ to understand how young people engage with science and how teaching can be tailored to support further engagement.
