Engaging Students; Stimulating Learning
DiscoverAlive is an innovative collection of interactive classroom resources for whole-class teaching and student use in 7 subjects:
English - Maths - Biology - Geography - History - French - Spanish
Activities are designed by subject experts and focus on key concepts and skills that benefit most from an ICT approach. They are designed to be used independently, in combination, and alongside resources outside DiscoverAlive - within or outside a Virtual Learning Environment.
Embracing Change; Developing the Curriculum
DiscoverAlive is ideal for learners between the age of 11 to 16.
DiscoverAlive offers a range of flexible resources that can be used to engage and stimulate learning within and between subjects; it also provides additional ways for students to demonstrate their understanding, skills and progress.
A subject-specific approach has been taken in the selection of topics, themes and units covered, and in the development of activities for whole-class, group, and individual student use. The images and tables below give a quick guide to the areas of curriculum covered in each pack.
