Microbiology in the Curriculum
(England, Wales & Northern Ireland)
If you are planning a talk for schools, this summary
of microbiology
in the school curriculum will help you tailor the content to suit
your chosen audience. Information is provided about the curriculum
at GCSE and Advanced Subsidiary GCE & Advanced GCE for the
three awarding bodies (OCR,
AQA and Edexcel).
Science Communication Factsheets
- Are you contributing to your employer's National Science Week
activities or open days?
- Do you struggle to disseminate your results from research
council funded projects to the "wider public"?
- Do you receive invitations to speak to schools or adult groups
about your research?
- Do you need advice about microbiological safety at science
communication events?
The External Relations Office has prepared a series
of information sheets (available below as PDF files) based on
the experience of Liz Sockett (SGM Education Officer 1999 - 2002)
and SGM staff.
