STEMNET Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network

This is a site aimed mostly at school kids and is devoted to providing the best scientific information available to anyone who is interested in any aspect of biology (the study of life) including palaeontology (the study of the history of life).

Everything you see here is written by professional scientists who are experts in their own areas of interest. These people give up their free time to help you, so please use them to learn and enjoy science. They work on dinosaurs, sea scorpions, ecology, human evolution, spiders, cell biology, evolution, birds, human and animal behaviour, human medicine, physiology, forests, conservation, genetics, fish, and plenty more besides.

Dr D's Science Days offers hands-on interactive activity days for Primary School pupils.

There are currently 3 different 'off the peg' activities, each of which introduces an area of science while encouraging development of scientific enquiry skills:
Wave Hello! - Investigate the properties of waves through light and music.
My Mate Bert - explore the human body by meeting Bert, the life sized skeleton, and playing lots of interactive games!
What's the Matter? - Take a close up look at the properties of matter using a digital microscope, and investigate the differences between solids, liquids and gases through drama.

Schools can also request a bespoke activity to fit with their current curriculum focus, or as part of a themed activity day / week.

These are very useful links for parents, students and teachers who want to know more about the skills and qualifications needed to work in the Visual Effects industry and to find out more about the careers opportunities too.
