There’s lots of exciting development work going on now to ensure that teachers have quality resources to help them in delivering the new Highers in Biology, Chemistry, Human Biology and Physics. A wide spectrum of teachers are now working away on developing subject-specific materials. Publication of the SQA Content Tables in Physics and Chemistry makes the new courses seem a reality; this is just a month or two away now for Biology and Human Biology.

The National Library of Scotland, based in Edinburgh, provides an excellent and extensive collection of resources which could be used to enliven the delivery of the new National Qualifications in the Sciences.

Access to the library’s collections of books, journals and on-line materials is free upon registration to anyone in Scotland over the age of sixteen.

The big highlight of the NQ Physics Development Officer’s recent visit to the library was the opportunity to see first hand a collection of original 19th century letters from Lord Kelvin to his instrument maker!
