Resumen de Response to the professional bodies' articles on developing UK science curriculum frameworks
In this response, I welcome the work of the Royal Society of Biology, the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics in developing curriculum frameworks for their subjects. I point out some of the challenges: in particular, there is a fine balance to be drawn between maintaining the integrity of the three sciences, and seeking coherence in the way the curricula are presented, and the way they deal with areas of overlap and common themes. This points the way to further joint work that needs to be done by these three bodies if these curriculum frameworks are to have the national impact they deserve.
