The main aim of the Teachers’ Pack is to help science teachers teach the science content of the National Curriculum in a fun and engaging manner while highlighting contributions by Muslim scientific scholars. By offering easily digestible historical facts and simple experiments to demonstrate key scientific and technological principles this resource offers an exciting opportunity to promote understanding and contributions of the Muslim civilisation in a hands-on and minds-on fashion that is accessible to younger audiences between the ages of 11 and 16. It contains worksheets and resources covering all aspects of the KS3 science curriculum. The 1001 Inventions Teachers’ Pack is part of unique UK based project which aims to convey 1,000 years of Muslim contributions to science, technology and modern civilisation.
