Some people are concept people – they'll get science, no worries.

And then some people are, well, people people.

To ease your people people pupils into the science curriculum, you might like these thoughts on which people might go with which bits of the curriculum. Not just the usual suspects mind, diverse and interesting people, women and everything!

But why stop at actual people, when there are so many suitable candidates amongst cartoons, fictional characters, limbed vegetables, poems, songs and robots?

All life is here!

You'll notice that we have left some curriculum stones unturned, that's because we know you will have ideas of your own you'd like to share with us. If you have any faces that fit the curriculum, whether we've covered that area or not, please email them to katie.walsh@nesta.org.uk

Not all our curriculum role models have activities to go with them (some are just people of note) but most do. Click on the picture to get the full page.

We hope you find the ideas and suggestions inspiring.
