Sustainable Scrap Science began in 2006, when three schools in Somerset and three schools near Bangalore, southern India, joined together to devise science activities and exchange ideas.
The idea is simple ...
Develop a set of interesting science activities that make use of inexpensive equipment and scrap materials, and to share these with the group so they can be tested and taken further. Using the same set of activities, teachers and pupils can collaborate in this development, sharing ideas and results with the group.
Sustainable Scrap Science aims to:
 | Increase global understanding through sharing a common enthusiasm for science | | Enable the wonder of science to be accessible to schools in India and in the UK | | | Demonstrate recycling and sustainability using waste to create science resources, helping us to re-evaluate "waste" | | | Develop the thinking skills inherent in free explorations of scientific phenomenon, which children naturally enjoy | | | Raise awareness of the possibilities for science using equipment which is all around us, breaking down the idea that science needs expensive and complication resources |
Somerset Global Education Network
Sustainable Scrap Science is funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), through Somerset Global Education Network. Somerset GLEN believes that young people are entitles to a global dimension in their education, as it empowers them to act as responsible global citizens.
