Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this resource helps students to put hayfever and asthma into the wider contexts of both plant and human biology.

Students look in detail at how plants use pollen to reproduce, including growing pollen tubes and investigating the pollen in honey. They then...

This book looks at several aspects of pollution: *Dirty water *Chemicals in water * Living things in water * Cleaning water * Oil and water * Dirty air * Analysing smoke * Chemicals in air * Sound * Pollution check Pollution was one of the Science at Work series. All the booklets in the series were highly...

Charlotte is a Pollution, Prevention and Control Officer for the Environment Agency - "you could say I'm a policeman for the environment". In the video Charlotte explains that she found it a challenge being a woman in chemical engineering but had support from her university professor. The Environment Agency offered...

A polygon of side length two is shown with a circle circumscribing its vertices. A second circle is shown with the sides of the polygon tangential to the circle. The challenge is to calculate...

This resource contains 21 instant maths ideas designed to explore the properties of polygons. Practical activities include creating polygons by folding newspaper, exploring the number of triangles that can be drawn on a triangular dotted grid and creating, naming and classifying quadrilaterals. Students are asked...

This interactive excel file has a series of sheets showing nine different regular polygons. Each polygon can be rotated and also shown with or without the circumscribing circle. They can be shown with or without the radii.

The initial frame of the video shows a toy pony. As time progresses additional ponies are added to the scene. At the end, all of the ponies are taken away. The challenge is to graph the number of ponies in the frame against time. The resulting graph is one with discontinuities.

Ponies in frame video...

This field study encourages students to act as environmental scientists to compare two heathlands one of which has been grazed, one of which has not. Students use the data collected to decide which heathland is better in terms of the plant species present, especially heathers, and soil chemistry.

Four...
