Forums

Forums

Join email forums for teachers and for technicians.

There are two email groups that enable SHAP teachers and technicians to share news and views.  They both work in a similar way.  Any message sent to the group is automatically copied to all group members, who can then reply either to the whole group or to the sender. There is no charge for membership.

The teachers' group is run and moderated by the SHAP publishers, Edexce/Pearson.  To subscribe please send a blank email message to: shap-subscriptions@yahoogroups.co.uk

For technicians, the Scitech group (established by a SHAP technician) provides support relating both to SHAP and to more general issues of interest to science technicians working in schools and colleges.  To join Scitech please contact:

Maz Dunn and Rob Copeland, 1 Chaucer Street, Hull, HU8 8NA

They prefer applications on school headed note paper stating the email address you want to use.  If you receive no response in two weeks, then please email: scitech_reg@yahoo.co.uk

SHAP Prizes

SHAP Prizes

SHAP student prize for AS

If so, please consider entering their work for the SHAP Unit 3 Award.

This year our sponsors are again offering a prize for outstanding work at AS level in Unit 3. While there is less scope for original work than in the former A2 project, the judges hope none the less to see evidence of flair and skill in both the account of the visit or case study and in the practical work.

The sponsors of the award are keen to encourage the context-led approach of the Salters Horners (SHAP) course so the award is open only to students from centres using wholly or predominantly SHAP.

Entries (max one per centre) should be submitted to Edexcel along with the reports that you send in for marking or moderation in May. For details please download the Word document  and download the .

If you wish to enter work for external marking, or a piece of work that has been requested for moderation, all you need do is complete a proforma and attach it to the report along with the Edexcel marking grid. As the report will not be sent back with the rest of your marking/moderation, please also enclose an appropriate sae if you wish the report to be returned after the judging.
