Welcome to NFU Education
As a small team of former teachers, we understand the challenges faced by the profession, so all our resources and initiatives have been designed with three main goals in mind:
- To save teachers time and reduce workload
- To spark learners’ passion and enthusiasm for STEM subjects
- To convey important messages about food, farming, and nutrition through a cross‑curricular, project‑based approach
Browse our site to find high‑quality primary STEM teaching resources and projects that are closely linked to the National Curriculum.
Science Farm LIVE: The BIG Farming QUESTion!
Join us on the 12th and 13th March to celebrate British Science Week with three new, free and curriculum-aligned live lessons!
In keeping with the theme of this year’s British Science Week, ‘Curiosity: What’s your question?’ we’ve been on a quest for food and farming questions and now we’re inviting you and your pupils to join us on an adventure to answer them all!
Farmers for Schools
Students today are bombarded by misinformation, unsure if what they are being told is science fact or science fiction. Their choices around what they eat, where it comes from and the environmental considerations surrounding it are becoming ever more complex and confusing.
Farmers for Schools gives students access to voices from modern farming and invites your students to an open conversation about agriculture in the UK as part of an engaging, interactive assembly or group discussion.
Farming STEMterprise
Farming STEMterprise projects involve Key Stages 1 & 2 children completing a range of cross‑curricular tasks in order to set up their own farm shop business and design, develop, make and market a brand new food product.
Engineering Educates: Farmvention Challenge
The Challenge involves 3 differentiated pathways to inspire 7-14 year olds to think as engineers in the context of British farming. Learners develop their STEM, creativity and collaboration skills through solving problems that make a difference in real-world settings.
Science Farm
Science Farm activities bring the Key Stage 1 Science curriculum to life through farming.
