This resource looks at Newton's First and Second Laws and how they relate to the Gravity Jet Suit.

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

Two resources from SMILE Mathematics containing a number of good ideas for use in the classroom. Each case study is accompanied by at least one commentary from a teacher explaining how they used the idea. Each activity has information about how long the activity will last, what preparation is required, what...

The first of two volumes, from SMILE mathematics, of useful and interesting activities covering a wide range of mathematical themes. Teachers describe the ways in which they have used the ideas in the classroom and provide a number of tips and suggestions to help vary...

A Catalyst article investigating what nitrogen and its compounds are used for. Nitrogen is colourless, odourless, non-toxic and inert, and has a wide range of uses. Nitrogen makes up seventy eight per cent of the Earth’s atmosphere by volume and has a considerable influence on respiration in plants and animals. The...

In this activity students play a game to help them to understand how nitrogen gets recycled throughout the environment. They will become nitrogen atoms and move from compound to compound in different areas of the ecosystem. They then apply what they have learnt to...

This is a collection of resources to engage students in the world’s most prestigious awards. Featuring a collection of animations about previous award-winning scientists and their work, these resources tell the inspiring stories of researchers such as Marie Curie and Albert Einstein. Look out for new resources as...

In this activity, from the LSIS, learners examine noise safety. It is an activity that raises awareness of the danger of high noise levels by involving students in practical recording of sounds from a range of sources and by making a visual representation of their findings.

The activity demonstrates theory...

In this podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Richard Hollingham hears how the underwater world isn't the soundless place often imagined. From chirping, gurgling and snapping sounds from busy coral reefs to clicking sperm whales, scientists are finding...

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to non-linear graphs. Additionally, some of the situations result in parabolas or graphs that are periodic.

This Core Maths activity gives students the opportunity to practise using the Normal Distribution to solve problems in a variety of situations. 

Students calculate and interpret mean and standard deviation and draw diagrams such as a box plot.They need a good understanding of...
