At the Intermediate level, teachers already seem to have gender balance teaching knowledge, skills, and attitudes. While an expert’s help may be required from time to time, teachers at this level can act relatively autonomously and handle challenges related to their gender-balance teaching practices.

This could be done individually or in teams. Depending on how many teams or individuals they will require access to the internet.
You may want to set a time limit on how long they have to complete the task. And if not complete whoever unlocks the most plants is the winner.
⦁ After your science chapter on Solar System , give this quiz to the class. It requires internet access or smart device.
⦁ The WINNER or group winner will be the ones who have all/ the most planets unlocked and in correct order.

The purpose of this resource is to engage students in a fun active way to fractions and mathematics. The game is fun yet educational.
This OER consists of Fractions being displayed on the screen and you have a multiple choice to pick the correct decimal it correlates to. The faster you get the correct answer the faster your chosen puppy runs. The winner is the student who answers the questions the fastest and their puppy crosses the finish line.
This OER requires an internet connection and the ability to access the internet. A race can have maximum 12 people.
⦁ Log onto the site and select create private game. Choose your password and write it on the white board.
⦁ Get the class to log on to the site and choose a name for there puppy, and to enter the password to join your game.
⦁ While in the lobby the students can choose what colour, they would like their puppy to be.
⦁ Once everyone is ready start the race!
⦁ The race will finish when the first puppy crosses the line.
⦁ If a student missed an answer or didn’t answer correctly, it will show up after the race.
⦁ You could use this as an indicator as to what fractions they are stuck on and go revise.
This resource is a chemistry experiment. Once completed students will understand the science behind why and how their bath bombs dissolve.
The aim of this resource is to use chemistry to make relaxing bath bombs. We have included this OER to support students to see the science behind some everyday products that they use and like.
This resource is a chemistry experiment. Once completed students will understand the science behind why and how their bath bombs dissolve.
⦁ Firstly, familiarise yourself with the experiment. Decide how much of each material listed you need. Is everyone working individually or in groups?
⦁ Before proceeding with the project, I would suggest telling the students to bring their own food colouring as this adds more individuality to the project.
⦁ Once the materials are gathered you can start explaining the method to your class. Carry out this method and be sure to create your own bath bombs too as these will be needed for testing results.
⦁ The results will take approx. 1-2 days so the next time you have the class you can check to see if the bath bombs set.
⦁ You can test your own bath bombs in a basin of water and see how they go. Then the students can take theirs home and test theirs. The next day you can compare results and see what could be done differently.
This OER is a video that will help teachers to show students what engineering is, what types of engineers there are and the different types of jobs they do.
Some questions will be asked to help students identify which ones they are most attracted to.
This resource aims to support teachers in breaking down the misconception among students that engineers are “just people who build houses”. This video will teach the different fields within engineering such as mechanical, construction, health, aerospace and computer engineering.
This OER is a video that will help teachers to show students what engineering is, what types of engineers there are and the different types of jobs they do.
Some questions will be asked to help students identify which ones they are most attracted to.
First, take the following survey of students and make sure everyone has completed it before playing the video.
1. What do you think engineering is?
2. Do you think engineering solves real problems?
3. How do you think we can use tools or our ideas to solve a problem?
4. What invention would you create to solve everyday problems?
5. Would you like to become an engineer?
6. Do you consider yourself a curious or creative person?
7. Do you think it is important to be creative or curious in engineering?
8. Then play the OER video.
9. After watching the video, see if the students’ concept of engineering resembles reality.
10. And finish by asking them, which of the different areas of engineering would you like to learn about and have you been most interested in?

The purpose of this resource is to educate students and teach them about mathematics and multiplication in a fun and active way. To take away the concept of “boring maths” and engage them in education in a more entertaining way.
This OER consists of choosing a race car and once the game starts, multiplication operations will appear with different results.
The chosen car will race faster depending on the correct results. The student who answers the multiplications the fastest will reach the finish line the quickest.
Make sure you have a good internet connection to start using this online game. This OER supports a maximum of 4 players per game.
1. Once logged into the website, click PLAY.
2. You will then be allowed to enter your Username. Have the class create the name for their own race car.
3. Once you have registered your Username, go to the “CREATE GAME” box to create a private game.
4. Once inside, you will be allowed to create a password. Make a note of the password on the whiteboard so that all students can see it and log in.
5. Once inside the lobby, students will be able to choose the colour of their own car.
6. Once the whole class is ready, let’s run!
7. At the end of the game, it will show who lost or got the answers wrong. This is something that would help them to learn and can be reviewed in class together.
This OER is a film that shows a girl living gender stereotypes in reverse, this helps teachers to raise awareness of gender equality and help them to break gender stereotypes, both in and out of the classroom.
This OER aims to show that “There’s no gender assigned to a piece of fabric”. This video shows that clothes have no gender, that personalities have no gender, that sports have no gender, that NOTHING has gender. It shows how when we are born as men and women, because of our sex, cultural assignments (socialisation) begin to construct the meaning of feminine and masculine, and from these beliefs the ways of thinking are adapted, which make us normalise and naturalise that men have to be a certain way because “they are men” and women a certain way because “they are women”. This resource aims to show us that gender stereotypes are not always evident.
This OER is a film that shows a girl living gender stereotypes in reverse, this helps teachers to raise awareness of gender equality and help them to break gender stereotypes, both in and out of the classroom.
This activity requires a computer (with Internet connection) and a projector to produce the video for the whole class.
1. Before playing the video, write on the board “Female / Male”, both separated by a dividing line.
2. Once the sexes have been separated, ask the young people to write on the board characteristics and/or qualities of each sex.
3. Once the associations have been made, ask why they have chosen to place these characteristics and/or qualities in each sex.
4. Having discussed the previous topic with the class, it is time to play the video.
5. Once you have finished the video, explain to the class how the characteristics they noted in each sex are cultural categories.
6. Discuss with your class the following final questions.
7. What is your opinion about gender stereotypes now that you have seen this video?
8. Do you think gender and sex are the same? Why?
9. Do you think it is important to teach about gender equality? Why?
10. How do you think we could change or reduce gender stereotypes in and out of the classroom?

Particle physicist Claire Lee is a non-traditional scientists. Lee’s performance background and comfort on stage are certainly advantages when it comes to communicating science in front of large audiences. She’s given astronomy lectures but she has also performed stand-up comedy routines with fellow researchers. Lee said she’s learned to use her acting, public speaking, and communication skills to convey her excitement for scientific research.
