STEM Visit to Iceland

About the expedition Ran by the National Science Learning Network. Bursary from the RCUK We were joined by an expert researcher which meant that we had first hand knowledge and experience at our hands.

Science Learning Partnership One of 50 SLPs that are funded by the Science Learning Centre for Central England Based at The Redhill Academy and at Tuxford Academy

Outcomes of Expedition You will be able to: enhance your subject interest and knowledge of contemporary science in real life contexts increase your confidence and knowledge of locations to facilitate learning outside the classroom develop your awareness of careers in STEM subjects and consider how to improve students’ knowledge of STEM progression routes

Key Points We were given the opportunity to work to conduct STEM field work in areas of our choice that are relevant to our school We were provided with different approaches to field work and a different environment We looked at glaciers and hot springs which have been the centre of relevant STEM stories

The Structure Training weekend (key skills and project design) The trip (5 days) Follow up day July (discuss the impact, share resources)

What does this mean for me? Inspired me and my teaching Provided relevant and exciting teaching points Fresh approach to the curriculum Developed new resources Curriculum development Expedition experience Field work experience Scientific data Videos Networking Collaboration

What does this mean for Redhill? Curriculum development for KS3-5 Unique resources Resources for transition project Fresh approach to the existing curriculum Benefit from networking with different schools

Examples of Lessons Which object is the best to poach an egg in a hot spring Global warming and the impact on glaciers How does the biodiversity in Iceland compare to that in the UK? Why don’t you find lichens near a geyser? Renewable energy – Geothermal Power Continental drift – Thingvellier Fault Line Glacial formation Impact of flow rate on cooling The rock cycle Why is it constantly daylight in Iceland during the summer? Working Scientifically - collecting and analysing data, sampling methods

We camped…..

…everywhere!!!

We visited the Sólheimajökull glacier that is receding at 50-70m per year!!!

The Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Station

The Thingvellir National Park

And the Blue Lagoon.

We cooked our breakfast in a hot spring…

…sat in a hot spring…

…and visited geysers.

Expedition Iceland October 2015 (Northern Lights, Engineering and Wonders of Iceland) STEM study visits

Why Go? Fantastic opportunity to work with teachers from different schools Inspiration for new teaching ideas Expedition experience Enhance subject knowledge Professional development Develop key skills Scientific methodology Pupils have really enjoyed the lessons Not just for science!!!
