Teaching Resources

Teacher created files
Joanne Poland has very kindly shared this resource that she prepared for her lessons at Shimna Integrated College in Newcastle, Co. Down, Northern Ireland.
Jan Hodge has also very kindly shared both these files on the fluoridation of water supplies introducing ‘The Big Fluoride Debate!’. These worked brilliantly with her Year 7 class at Greneway School in Royston.
Lots of teachers have informed us that they are creating their own debate cards. If you have created your own debate cards, or other resources, and would like to share them with other teachers, please email them through to admin@imascientist.org.uk and we would be happy to put them up here for all to use. We want to help!
