Inspiring minds: Sir William Ramsay
Universities thrive on the collective efforts of their scholars in tackling complex ideas that require breadth and range of expertise. But the work of unique thinkers is equally fundamental in the march of progress. UCL individuals, both past and present, have made discoveries and inventions that have changed the world. Some UCL people are household names, while other, equally brilliant thinkers are known primarily in their field. There is inspiration for all of us among UCL's people.

Soil Unit
Knowing what ideas children already have about a science topic is critical to providing appropriate learning situations. Time spent revealing the ideas they have is a good investment. Quite apart from alerting you, the teacher, to their current understanding of soil, it also gets them going--focusing them on what they will be doing. It gives students a stake in the learning enterprise; "This is the bit I have to offer." Finally, it fixes a benchmark for each student against which he or she can m
