GCSE Science Skills

GCSE Science SKills is our intervention to upskill students in years 9-11 to be able to carry out an independent investigation - and optionally do a project resulting in an HPQ Qualification. Science Skills comprises two elements:

1) Skills Training  A set of lessons to build competence in scientific skills (enquiry practices), and 21st century (transferable) skills like critical thinking and problem solving, to make students ready to take on a project. 
2) Science Investigations and Engineering Challenges A set of ready-made project briefs in exciting areas to support student investigation or engineering challenge projects.

GCSE Science Skills is supported by high quality resources, sponsored by the Open University and Royal Academy of Engineering, which are currently being trialled by pilot schools.
