My child is interested in science ...

What can I do to encourage their interest?

ABPI have a separate website, Resources for Schools, that provides curriculum related resources for use by teachers and their pupils. The resources have been developed by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry and many link topics studied in school to their application in industry and in research.

As a family there are a number of Science Centres around the country you can visit. Examples are At-Bristol, Techniquest (in Wales), the Glasgow Science Centre, the Centre for Life in Newcastle and Magma in Rotherham.

Your child’s school may have a lunch time or after school science club, or may welcome help in trying to set one up.

Schools can access ideas for science clubs from a number of providers including the BA (CREST, or CREST Investigators for primary schools) and Salters Chemistry Club.
