  4. Introduction to Practical Action • An International development Charity which focuses on using technology to help people out of poverty – we believe in Technology justice • Our Education unit provides free teaching resources at primary and secondary level to fit the STEM and geography curriculum www.practicalaction.org.uk/schools

  5. What is global learning? • Critical and creative thinking; • self-awareness and open-mindedness towards difference; • understanding of global issues and power relationships; and • optimism and action for a better world. www.think-global.org.uk

  7. Who supports STEM teaching?

  8. Why would you put STEM and global learning together?? From Practical Action’s point of view It gives us a way of integrating global learning into mainstream subjects that wouldn’t normally teach in this way …Which will help us inspire more students to care about poverty reduction…and act accordingly

  9. Why would you put STEM and global learning together?? From a teacher’s point of view • Global issues provide a great context for hands-on inquiry based learning • Good for SEAL and PLTS • Reinforces understanding of the subject • Fits the National Curriculum criteria • Really engages pupil

  10. What teachers say about our STEM resources ‘Excellent resources, very comprehensive and targeted at the right level.’ ‘‘..using the resource (Moja island) I received an ‘outstanding’ observation’ ‘The pages on the 6Rs are brilliant. I have printed them in colour and laminated them. They are on the wall in the workshop for all the students to see. Very inspirational.’

  14. Squashed tomato challenge ‘The activity is ‘fantastic’, it shows students how they can relate what they learnt to a real life situation.  We recently completed a unit on forces but until now they didn’t see how that could be applied’. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=v5L5Gp849Q0

  15. Wind power challenge ‘After the event the pupils were really keen to do more work on this and I felt it lent itself to a project involving  our partner school Malaika elementary in Zambia. …I have now got a very keen group of pupils who are going to look at all things water related....hopefully presenting their work at the regional Big Bang in July (east midlands). We have downloaded the water projects sheet from your website’ Jo Cox, Head of Science,Redmoor High School Academy Trust www.practicalaction.org/stem Redmoor High school used the wind power challenge as part of NSEW

  16. Global CREST challenges ‘We wanted a project that both departments could work on together, as soon as we saw the CREST global challenges would fit that perfectly’ ‘ These practical projects provide a really effective way of helping young people understand sustainable development and engage with global issues’ www.practicalaction.org/crest Head of science and D&T , Ursuline Academy

  17. Global Crest Challenges Science Angels win the Shell award for sustainability The Sustainables win UKFT Textiles Edge Prize David Cameron visits The Sustainables stand www.practicalaction.org/crest
