* Science4Society Week 2020

Each year, SGR promotes science education activities and resources which are
NOT sponsored by the arms and fossil fuel industries - as part of our
Science4Society Week. This year, S4S Week runs from 7th to 15th March, with
the theme being pollution and waste in its many forms. We have produced new
downloadable teaching resources called TRASH 'Take Responsibility and Show
How' - including lesson plans and ideas for activities.
