The British Council's series of briefing sheets are designed to give a useful overview of particular subjects and aspects of UK Science and Technology.
At this web page you can get free, up-to-date, downloadable information on a number of different scientific areas where Britain has an important input. Before you begin, do an activity which practises some of the more difficult words that you will find in the texts.
Go to http://www.britishcouncil.org/science-publications-briefing-sheets.htm
Read the information on that page and then return here and try and complete an activity that tests your comprehension of the texts.
Is there any area of science you would like to see a briefing sheet for? Write and let us know
