Unsung Heroes of Science: Teachers’ Resources

There are so many amazing stories behind these Unsung Heroes of Science. We’ve put together some resources to help you and your students to explore them and find out more about these lesser-known scientists.

There are one-slide profiles of 40 Unsung Heroes – that’s enough for one a week for the school year. You could include them in lessons or assemblies and broaden your students’ understanding of what a scientist looks like.

There are also some activity plans that use the competition videos as their starting point. These could work well with a range of ages and groups, with short activities as well as full lesson plans.

If you have any questions or ideas, we’d love to hear from you at outreach@hertford.ox.ac.uk. Find out more about our work with schools and colleges on our outreach pages.
