A Scientist Just Like Me is designed to raise awareness of diversity in science-related jobs and to provide illustrated examples of a wide range of science-based careers. It consists of a series of short slideshows, each one 'telling the story' of a particular scientist or person working in a science-related job.

The slideshows are intended to be used as discussion prompts, guided by a teacher. They can be used in different ways and for different purposes, for example:

to show children an example of someone from a particular ethnic background working in a science job

to challenge gender stereotypes about science jobs

as part of a science topic that relates to the work of the scientist

as stand-alone fifteen-minute discussion activities

with a small group or the whole class, or in a whole school assembly

The A Scientist Just Like Me resource was created by PSTT Fellows, Kulvinder Johal, Alison Trew and Ali Eley during 2021.

CPD units for each area of the curriculum to make sure your subject knowledge is secure. Good for thinking about misconceptions that children might bring. It's worth looking through as there are some really useful child-friendly videos in there. For example, in the plants unit there's a lovely, simple video explaining what plants are to children.

Teach your primary science curriculum with confidence
Online CPD, developed with Imperial College London
Ideal for international curricula and mapped to the UK national curriculum

Why have we created Reach Out CPD?

by Professor Robert Winston

"If you're going to single out the most important job in our society, it has to be teaching.

Whenever I stand in front of a primary school class it's a bit terrifying because they will ask the most difficult questions about science.

It's often harder to teach an 8 year-old than an 18 year-old, but the rewards are massive because of the enthusiasm you gain. If we want a better society, we have to invest in these younger children.

Science isn't just for scientists

Primary science isn't just about nurturing the scientists of the future. It's about ensuring every child develops a natural curiosity about the world around them and starts to think analytically about situations.

Why should I eat this food or that food? Why is this product better than that? Why should I vote for this energy policy? Science is behind so many of today's decisions, let alone tomorrow's.

Helping teachers feel confident

Teachers are key to creating this science-literate society. They can inspire children to think more scientifically. Teacher confidence has been proven to impact children's outcomes in science, but, naturally, most primary school teachers don't have a science background.

That's why we have developed Reach Out CPD - to give every primary school teacher the professional development, support and materials they need to teach science with confidence. And to make it fun!

Imperial is proud to be championing this initiative."

Courses and resources to help you inspire young learners

Over 30 courses for teaching 5-11 year olds cover everything from plants to planets. Each one provides teachers with concise topic knowledge and a whole raft of resources to use in class, including captivating short videos, practical activities and experiments, whiteboard visuals and more.

Topics covered include:

Seasonal Changes
Environment and Habitats
Light and Sound
Forces and Magnets
Future of Energy
Working Scientifically

Food and Feeding
Body Systems
Plants
Planet Earth and Space
Animals and Humans
Rocks and Soils
