A few groups have new ‘learning hubs’ which provide easy access to free resources , for everyone….
WWT Wild Home Learning Hub
WWT have launched a new home learning hub to help parents teach their primary school aged children key parts of the science curriculum. ‘New resources, covering different science topics, will be released on a Monday morning each week until the end of this term. Families will have access to lesson plans, written specifically with this audience in mind, divided up into bite-sized chunks, including an outdoors element for those with access to outdoor space. These are supported by instructional videos, fun ‘make it’ activities and a quiz to show how much they’ve learnt each week. ‘
ASE – the Association of Science Education – has a new Coronavirus hub – ‘a collection of resources and links designed to assist our members, the science education community at large and the general public over the coming weeks and months. We see this as a living, growing resource’
Geography Association UK has great resources including the geography of Coronavirus
The Royal Geographical Society has resources for many ages and stages including COVID19 and how its impacts are felt around the world
