Scientists from Queen Mary contribute to Ask a Biologist, a site where anyone (pupils included) can ask their biology questions. They have also developed a classroom session with the skulls and teeth of extinct mammals.
Digesting Science– A workshop and interactive website to help children understand the concepts behind Multiple Sclerosis.
LEGO® Physics– a set of workshops, curriculum and teacher resources to support the particle and nuclear physics part of the curriculum and explain QM research.
