Welcome to Science in Society

Science in Society is an interesting and topical GCE advanced level course. It aims to develop the knowledge and skills that are needed for students to understand how science works, analyse contemporary issues involving science and technology and communicate their scientific appreciation and understanding to others.

This site provides, in conjunction with the textbooks, a full range of resources for teaching the AS and A2 course.
