The PICSE team delivers a two day professional development course at each of our activity centres. This year the theme is "The Science of Food and Fibre Security".

Professional Development

Each PICSE activity centre at a minimum delivers a two day professional development for teachers. As this year’s theme is "The Science of Food and Fibre Security" each activity centre is focusing on the science involved securing our future in food and fibre.

Resources

Each year PICSE produces an educational resource as a collaborative effort from all of the activity centres.

In 2009 the resource under development is around the theme of organic chemistry.

The 2010 resource is available now and is a booklet Science Taking You Places, designed to help teach the Scientific method in the class room. This is a perfect resource for teachers and students involved in the Science Investigation Awards.

The 2011 resource is the final stages of development; keep an eye on the PICSE website for more information.
