Gifted pupils need access to a wide range of resources to support the strategies suggested here. These resources may not be significantly different than those for all pupils, but arrangements for access need to allow for small group, differentiated activities. Collections of books and other publications, CD-ROMs and other audio-visual resources should be available within the science department and linked to certain topics.

Computers, including those with internet access, are particularly useful for gifted pupils.

See Activities beyond the classroom for science-related organisations.

electricity
