The basis for the packs is that skills that are appropriate for an experimental subject can be taught using simple examples which need not require expensive equipment or facilities.

Each pack contains teacher’s notes, student’s instructions, learning outcomes and suggested assessment questions linked to these outcomes. There are Biology, Chemistry and Physics packs based on topics drawn from the curriculum for Colleges of Education – institutions that train teachers for the basic schools. These packs are exemplars to help users produce additional packs for their use locally.

The packs have been tested and ready to use. The editors would welcome comments from users that may help improve the quality of the packs. For this purpose, each pack also has an evaluation section.
