Client Development Manager

Client Development Manager Henry Smith talks about using the data analysis techniques he learnt through studying science and the importance of team work.

To link with this we have developed a lesson plan for students to collect data and build a database to analyse elements, compounds and minerals.

A downloadable version of the video, lesson plan, student practical activity sheet and sample database are available below.
