Student help

Help for students, children and parents.

Making a science project, studying for exams, free books, calculators, choosing a career and staying safe online: everything in one place, in plain words.

Make a science project

Your project in four steps

From choosing an idea to answering the judges. The idea finder has 99 ideas with the science, materials and safety for each.

  1. 1

    Choose an idea

    Pick something for your class that answers a question you are curious about, and check it with your teacher.

  2. 2

    Plan your time

    Leave three to four weeks: a week to read and collect materials, a week to build and test, a week for the report and practice.

  3. 3

    Build and test

    Build one part at a time and test as you go. For an investigation, repeat each reading and write everything down.

  4. 4

    Present it

    Practise a one-minute explanation out loud, and get ready for “how does it work?” and “where is it used?”.

Study smarter, not longer

Six habits that make study time count, the practice tools in the student portal, and a checklist for exam day.

  • Little and often

    Short daily sessions of 25 to 40 minutes, with a break after each, stick better than one long session the night before.

  • Test yourself

    Close the book and write down what you remember, or answer practice questions. Remembering is how memory grows; rereading alone feels easy but fades.

  • Plan the week

    Make a simple timetable that mixes subjects, and go back to older chapters every week or two so they are fresh at exam time.

  • Explain it to someone

    Teach a topic to a friend, a parent or even a wall. The parts you cannot explain are the parts to study next.

  • Sleep, water, phone away

    Sleep helps you keep what you learned. Keep water nearby, and put the phone in another room while you study.

  • Ask early

    Stuck on something? Ask your teacher or a classmate the same week, before the next chapter builds on it.

Stay safe online

Six rules for staying safe online

For students of every age, and worth reading together as a family.

  • Keep OTPs and passwords secret

    Never share an OTP, PIN or password, not even with someone who says they are from a bank, a school or a company. Use a different strong password for each account and turn on two-step verification.

  • Think before you click

    Messages offering prizes, scholarships, free recharges or “urgent” account checks are a common trick. Check the website address, and do not open links or apps from people you do not know.

  • Be careful with strangers

    Do not share your address, school, phone number or photos with people you only know online. Someone who asks you to keep a chat secret is a warning sign.

  • Lock your phone and accounts

    Use a screen lock, keep apps updated, and set social media accounts to private. Only install apps from the official app store.

  • Check before you forward

    Not everything online is true. Check news with a trusted source before you share it, especially messages that make you angry or scared.

  • Tell a trusted adult

    If someone bullies, threatens or blackmails you online, do not reply and do not pay. Take screenshots, block them, and tell a parent or teacher straight away.

How grown-ups can help

Simple things that make a real difference at home, and free material for the classroom.

For parents

  • Help, but let them do itWith projects and homework, ask questions and keep them safe with tools, but let your child do the thinking and the making. What they make themselves, they can explain.
  • A study corner and a routineA quiet, well-lit place and a regular time each day help more than long weekend sessions. Keep the phone and television out of it.
  • Screen time and safetyAgree rules for phones together, keep devices in shared rooms for younger children, and talk about online safety often, not once.
  • Before you pay for any courseAsk for the duration, fees, syllabus, batch timings and certificate details in writing, visit the centre, and be wary of anyone who promises a guaranteed job.
