A Collaborative, User-Based Approach to Developing Science-Communication Resources Using 'Minecraft'
Hobbs, Laura; Holyman, Sam; Payne, M.; Ricketts, Yasmin; Stevens, Carly – School Science Review, 2020
Science Hunters is a UK outreach project that uses "Minecraft" (a computer game that allows children to build with a wide range of blocks) to engage children with science. Sessions are based on a range of science topics and include practical activities. A new topic, on bioluminescence, was designed in collaboration with staff and…

Lindstrom, Nicklas – School Science Review, 2020
A teaching approach based on the Biggs and Collis SOLO taxonomy is described. Lessons were planned using the SOLO taxonomy to communicate how students could demonstrate increasing complexity of response to scientific questions. Consideration is given to extending the use of the SOLO taxonomy to create a relational curriculum, which may be useful…

Reiss, Michael J. – School Science Review, 2018
The 1998 Nuffield Foundation report "Beyond 2000: Science Education for the Future," by Robin Millar and Jonathan Osborne, produced ten recommendations and had a major effect on curriculum development in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Twenty years after its publication, I pose ten questions for science education. The hope is that…

Morris, Helen – School Science Review, 2014
Socio-scientific issues, which are often controversial, involve the use of science and are of interest to society, raising ethical and moral dilemmas. Examples of these issues could include genetic technology or air pollution. Following a curriculum reform in England in 2006, socioscientific issues now have a heightened presence in the 14-16…

Adey, Philip – School Science Review, 2001
Explores some of the impacts of theory--philosophical and sociological but mostly psychological--on the development of science curricula and the practice of science teaching. Concludes that there is now a greater recognition of the need for theoretical justifications for change and theory-led research into what works and, above all, why it works.…
