Gearing up for the new GCSE science qualifications 11 June 2015

Rashpal Chana explains the OCR STEM project, designed to help you transition into the reformed GCSE Science qualifications for first teaching in 2016. 

Our web based digital resource provides a project-based learning approach to STEM and supports the full ability range with exciting and challenging projects.

The STEM project is not a qualification, but is a programme of study designed to:

  • provide a structured transition from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4
  • deploy a project-based learning approach to both engage students and encourage independent learning
  • support the full ability range with a mixture of structured and open-ended activities
  • support the introduction of the new GCSE STEM qualifications from September 2016, (and in particular support those who are starting delivery in year 9 from September 2015)
  • develop ‘soft’ skills that are valued by employers and FE/HE alike
  • map all content to OCR STEM qualifications enabling easy integration into GCSE and vocational schemes of work
  • signpost relevant high quality 3rd party resources from a range of sources including businesses, universities and the National STEM Centre.

The STEM resources will be available shortly so please register your interest.
