Primary and Secondary School Science Resources. 
Our aim here at SATRO is to inspire and enthuse young people in their understanding of STEM subjects and careers.  Our activities and events encourage students to challenge their perceptions and look at new innovative ways of thinking as they learn.

Our team have selected this material for you with those aims in mind.  We hope it will continue to inspire your interest in STEM.

What we provide on this page links to existing websites and materials, recognising their ownership and responsibility for the content.  We are not recommending any particular information source, rather we are trying to expand your horizons in looking for information that will be of interest to you.

Introduction to Science 
Science is the study of the nature and behaviour of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. The best discoveries in science are very simple.

Studying science allows us to challenge the existing norms and traditions of the world and helps us to have a positive perspective of the world with a better understanding and knowledge. 

It is most commonly broken down into the following three fields: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. 
  • Biology is the natural science that stuies life and living organisms
  • Chemistry is the study of elements and compounds
  • Physics studies matter, its motion and behaviour through space and time
