Why science matters

We're committed to helping learners understand the relevance of science to the world around them, and the many future science-related opportunities to be explored.

Whether it be inventing the next solution to combat climate change or developing a life-changing medical break-through, we're focused on supporting today's young thinkers in their endeavour to change the future for the better.

Recent scientific discoveries

We’ve created free and downloadable posters which focus on recent scientific discoveries and look at why they’re so important and exciting to know about. You can explore and use these posters to inspire your students in the classroom or as starter questions to be used in lessons as discussion topics.
