M.A.R.CH Educational toolkit
The educational toolkit for the school pilots was developed for educators to help them design and apply the pilots in their schools, spreading innovation and excellence in science teaching across Europe. The toolkit includes the 21 good practices collected and successfully applied to schools in all partner countries, lesson plan templates, questionnaires, resources and guidelines on how to present the results at the end.
