A new science resource pack, aimed at teachers of students in the 14 to 16 age bracket has just been launched by the Assocation of Plastics Manufacturers in Europe (APME) and the Plastics Industries Association in Ireland. There's one for every science teacher in the audience - free of charge. The Platform activity pack, designed to bring lively debate to science and technology classes, has been produced in response to research which showed a gap in the market, conducted among Irish science teachers.
