Under the VAM programme, a number of resources have been produced aimed at promoting the importance of good practice in analytical measurement to those teaching and studying post-16 science courses. Resources include:
-
-
Chemistry Provides the Solution: A curriculum resource pack for schools;
-
Contaminated Land Study: An opportunity to deliver key skills;
-
-
-
Chemistry in Action teachers’ workshop packs.
A review of the resources has been undertaken to consider how best to develop these products, either through revision or through improving availability. The report contains a detailed description of each product and explains how they can be obtained.
In addition, the current specifications for A-Level Chemistry, A-level Science and Advanced VCE Science have been scrutinised to identify course content which relates to measurement science. Areas supported by current VAM resources and activities have been identified. The report also makes recommendations for new products which could be developed under the current programme.
