Note for teachers

This area is under development. In the near future we will provide a number of educational resources for teachers and students in junior science to help engage and fascinate. These will include online games, experiments, worksheets and videos that target the secondary school audience. Additional information available to teachers will include notes, solutions and curriculum assessment links as well as links to professional development sessions planned to run in 2010.

Keep an eye on this site, as items will be uploaded on a regular basis. In the meantime, useful information is also available in the ABOUT SYNCHROTRONS (synchrotron science) section and from the Publications page in the NEWS, EVENTS AND PUBLICATIONS section of this website.

For further information, teachers can contact Jonathan de Booy, Outreach Officer, at [email protected]
