Scientists in Schools program teacher information

The Scientists in Schools program allows you and your students to work with a scientist in a flexible, professional partnership.

The scientist can act as mentor, role model or inspiration for your students, providing you and them with access to new ideas and fresh perspectives in science. In turn, you and your students will help scientists see their work from a new angle and stay engaged with the public perception of their work.

The program is open to schools anywhere in Australia, and to all levels of schooling. The 'scientists' involved will come from a wide range of disciplines and will include research scientists, engineers and people involved in applied science (such as GPs, vets and park rangers).

Your involvement with the scientist can be tailored to suit your availability, interests and classroom situation, and will also depend on the scientist's availability.

For example, you could:
•Take your class on a visit to the scientist's workplace
•Ask the scientist to give a presentation about their career or area of work
•Work with the scientist to develop a project or unit of work related to their research
•Email students' science questions to the scientist
•Collaborate with the scientist to run science activities for your students
•Undertake professional development with the scientist.

Students can benefit by:
•exposure to a science role model for career inspiration
•learning more about the role of science in society
•exploring the science being studied in their community
•discovering the ‘real’ science behind their curriculum.
