Educators' guides

This is the home of all of our resources to help you use Precision Practical equipment in your curriculum.

From primary through to A level, we aim to support teachers, technicians and students.

Ross

Born on the southern coast of Victoria, Australia, Ross moved to London in his mid 20’s as a musician, where he made the tough decision to break up the band and study Molecular and Applied Bioscience at Westminster University in London. During his studies Ross gained a range of experience working as an ambassador for Kew Gardens, the Millennium Seedbank, the Science Museum and as a laboratory assistant for a PhD team.

After graduating in 2016 Ross took the role of Senior Science Technician at Oaklands School in East London. Here Ross has worked closely with fantastic teachers and teams of technicians, delivering learning focussed and functional practical resources for KS3, KS4 and A level. Ross has honed his craft across a range of lab bases and fieldwork activities as well as science clubs and open events. He has also been instrumental in the redesign and construction of new school laboratories.

Robin

Robin’s journey began with a dual fascination: the vast mysteries of the natural world and the imaginative possibilities of science fiction. This led him to Bristol University to study Astrophysics, but it was a stint teaching English in Barcelona that sparked a lifelong interest in education.

After returning to the UK and moving to London, Robin has spent over a decade at the front of the classroom, serving as a Science Teacher, Head of Physics, and leading a large secondary school science department.

Precision Practical is the result of his time in classroom labs, and all the frustrations and troubleshooting that it entails! With a vision born from a desire to create the high-quality, reliable equipment that he always wished he had for his own students. He believes that when the equipment works perfectly, the science truly comes to life.
