STEM education resources

STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy and enables the next generation of innovators to help solve the environmental problems we all face. Linked to STEM subjects, these resources encourage children to think of materials as a valuable resource and consider how we can reduce the amount of waste produced, and reuse or repurpose waste before recycling.
Key stage one

These free downloadable resources cover key stage one of the National Curriculum.

 

You will find two lesson presentations for the class and the associated easy-to-follow lesson plans with printable resources to support the learning in teachers’ notes. Packed with a variety of activities, children will find these interactive lessons engaging and fun. You will also find three upcycling activity presentations.

Key stage three and four

For key stage three and four students, we have developed a series of videos to support the learning around STEM careers. Science, technology, engineering and maths workers play a key role in sustained growth and innovation within our industry.

 

Studying STEM subjects – science, technology, engineering and maths – at school can open the door to an amazing career at SUEZ. A real passion for numbers, maths and computers could lead to a role as a Technical Analyst, or a love of chemistry could lead to being a Process Engineer.

 

STEM subjects are used in many areas of our business, but it is also useful to have skills and qualities such as problem-solving skills, communication skills, teamwork, organisational skills and accuracy.

 

There are many roles within the waste, water and sustainable energy industry that these skills are applied to. These short videos will give you a flavour of the diversity of the types of roles STEM subjects link with and the skills required. Our staff featured in these videos give an insight into their role, what they do and their learning journey.
