Written by a science teacher on a break. Now a freelance writer and editor of educational science resources.

Snapshot Science
Science is often at the forefront of media attention, be it a news story, movie, television programme or new technology.

Using topical narratives makes science lessons more relevant, engaging and motivating but very often finding links to the topics being taught and designing accompanying resources takes up valuable PPA time.

This is where Snapshot Science can help. It is a blog that not only seeks out these topical stories, but suggests ideas on how they could be used in the science classroom and provides original, free, downloadable resources.
