Abstract

ESTABLISH (FP7 project) aims to increase the use of inquiry-based science education (IBSE) methodologies in classrooms across Europe. Through the provision of teaching and learning materials (ESTABLISH units), enhanced by authentic experiences provided by industry, and educational supports for both in-service and preservice teachers (ESTABLISH Teacher Education Programmes), teachers have a range of suitable material to develop their own teaching. This paper discusses one of the ESTABLISH units and emphasises the development of the industri· al links. A number of different approaches to industrial links are discussed, from providing context to actual design challenges.
