As part of Science Year’s commitment to helping teachers inspire and engage their pupils, the Association for Science Education has created an innovative series of five CD-Roms and online materials. These cover a wide range of areas of science and are full of interactive and downloadable games and projects.

The first CD-Rom will be sent out to all maintained secondary schools in England during October. This will contain information as to how to register to receive the subsequent ones. NB it is important to fill in and return this form if you want the others, because they will not be issued automatically.
Please note that most of the downloadable materials contained on the CD-Roms will subsequently be available on the Science Year website too.
The CD-Roms are also available for purchase. For information click here.
