MPMA Education Website

Packaging is a part of our everyday lives but not always fully understood. We hope to enlighten teachers, students and parents to the attributes of metal as a packaging medium with a range of educational projects. They are designed to cover several National Curriculum subject areas, and there are a range of worksheets for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 children.   Click here to go to the MPMA Education website for Teachers and see the range of resources available.
