Free curriculum-linked remote lessons
On the STEM Learning website, you can access a variety of free curriculum-linked science lessons for children of all ages. These lessons cover a range of topics, including evolution, forces, and the human body. Created and recorded by subject experts, remote lessons can be accessed at any time of day, making it easy to fit into your home learning schedule.
Alongside these lessons, there are also live Q&A sessions, run by teachers, giving both students and parents/carers the opportunity to ask questions and get further support.

Climate Detectives @home
Climate Detectives @home is an European Space Agency (ESA) education project for pupils aged 12 to 18. It challenges them to monitor our planet from home by looking from above, by finding an Earth observation image, describing it and linking it to a climate problem. The ESA provides information for pupils about earth observation and climate before they get started. The project would be a great basis for a CREST Award.
Access the Climate Detectives @home starter guide to get some inspiration and read carefully through the guidelines.
