Last year we wrote about the launch of a new education resources
website from BP called BP Education Service.
Well, the BP Education website has recently been updated with more
resources for science and geography lessons, plus short films and
animations to use in the classroom and at home.
New sections include:
Real-world
Science , for pupils aged 12 to 14,
a set of short films, animations, quizzes and interactive
activities looking at science in a real-world context. Topics
include combustion of fuels, energetic reactions,
hydrocarbons from crude oil, polymerisation and the properties of
hydrocarbons.

InvestiGATE,
for pupils aged 9 to 11, has a new series of resources to
boost scientific investigation skills and prepare pupils for the
transition to secondary school. http://bpes.bp.com/investigate
Experiments and lesson plans:
One resource that caught our eye was the Mini
Greenhouse which has animations, worksheets, posters
and all the other resources you need to investigate the way that
greenhouses trap heat.

resources you need register (it's free) by clicking here.
