  • Bringing STEM Experts Into Your Classroom a Teaching and Learning Guide
    Bringing STEM Experts into Your Classroom A Teaching and Learning Guide Information and advice for primary schools, and scientists and engineers, wishing to develop a partnership to support primary science and technology Bringing STEM Experts into Your Classroom This Teaching and Learning Guide begins with an overview of some local programmes enabling upper primary pupils to interact with STEM practitioners from industry, academia and government. These programmes include Civil Engineers in Primary Schools (supported by the Institution of Civil Engineers), Science Expressions (supported by the Astra-Zeneca Science Teaching Trust, and W5), STEM Experts in Primary Schools (supported by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT), and Sentinus), Physical Scientists from the World Around Us (supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Institute of Physics in Ireland), Primary BioSciences and Primary Life Sciences (supported by the Wellcome Trust), Primary Food Sciences (in association with the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast). The essential feature of these programmes is that they provide continuing interaction between a working scientist or engineer and a primary school teacher and pupils over a period of time leading to a specific outcome or event, and provide a foundation for pupils to make appropriate course and career decisions later. As each section of this Guide is self-contained, there is some repetition between sections The programmes described in this paper were supported by: the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast, the Institute of Physics in Ireland, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Primary Science Teaching Trust (formerly the Astra Zeneca Science Teaching Trust), the Royal Society of Chemistry, Sentinus, the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, W5, and the Wellcome Trust.
