How do you encourage those students who do like science but cannot see themselves in a science-based career? Many students struggle to think of more than a handful of scientific careers so this new animation from the Royal Society, aimed at students aged 11 to 16, aims to demonstrate the wealth of scientific subjects that can be accessed beyond school, and the excitement that a career in science can bring. By having a positive impact on the challenges that face our Society a career in science can bring job satisfaction and opportunities for travel and global collaboration. Of course, we are talking about science in the wider sense so the animation lists maths and computing as ‘core’ science subjects studied in school alongside chemistry, biology and physics.
For those students who really do not like science and cannot see the point of studying it, you may want to point them to the first animation in this series: Why science is for me:

The study of science is not just for those who want a scientific career, but it is relevant to everyone for their future decision making and information processing. This short animation is a tool teachers can use to help demonstrate that science enables students to gain a broad range of transferable skills useful in many careers
