UNITED KINGDOM: During British Science Week, the Society of Cosmetic Scientists (SCS), in association with L’Oréal, introduced teachers to the science of cosmetics at a specially organized series of “Teach the Teachers” events at five cosmetic locations around the UK. Those taking part included L’Oréal (London), Boots (Nottingham), Acheson & Acheson (Wiltshire), Soapworks (Glasgow) and BASF (Bradford).
The SCS events also introduced other teachers to Scrub Up on Science (SUOS) activities. SUOS is the SCS response to many discussions in both government and academia about the need to link businesses and schools to engage students with STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects that can broaden their career options in the modern workplace. It provides chemistry resources for teachers and children, including practical experiments.
