Science 9 Non-science abandoned mines, compressible ground and hydrogeology. Primary school education resources Like other parts of the UK, Northern Ireland has seen a significant decline in the amount of science in its national curriculum in recent years, especially at the primary-education level. In a bid to address this, we established the Primary School Working Group together with local primary school teachers and Earth Science Ireland, a voluntary organisation tasked with promoting earth science across the island of Ireland. We produced a comprehensive suite of lesson plans and accompanying resources that has now been distributed to all 832 primary schools in Northern Ireland. This was supported by the Earth Science Education Unit (ESEU) at the University of Keele, who worked with us to develop a bespoke training course for teachers delivering these lesson plans in the classroom. The lesson plans are available on the NI schools intranet system, C2K, and have recently been officially endorsed and are being promoted by the Council for Curriculum Examination and Assessment (CCEA), the national examinations body of Northern Ireland.
