This Catalyst article investigates how honeycomb (cinder toffee) is made using a thermal decomposition reaction to produce the gas bubbles. Sodium hydrogen carbonate (also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda) has the chemical formula NaHCO3. When it is heated above about 80°C it begins to break down...

Two animations, from the Wellcome Trust, illustrate the life cycle of the trypanosomiasis protozoan parasite. They illustrate the journey of these single celled parasites, which cause human African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, from the gut of the tsetse fly...

This fact sheet from the Geological Society explores what tsunamis are, what causes them, and how warning systems and education can help mitigate the damage caused and loss of life.

This London Engineering Project case study of an integrated science and engineering, from the Royal Academy of Engineeringy, was designed around an industry context and delivered as part of National Science and Engineering Week in 2009.

From the Wellcome Trust, this animation shows how the human immune system attempts to contain a tuberculosis infection and how the bacteria are transmitted to new people.

Tuberculosis usually affects the respiratory...

With an increase in tuberculosis (TB) throughout the world during the 21st century, this resource looks at what scientists are doing to combat a disease that many believed was a problem of the past.

The TB fact file describes the disease, its symptoms and incidence and reviews current research into its cause...

Students are required to draw graphs to represent data and critique an incorrect interpretation of the data. Given the results of a survey, students draw a chart or graph of the discrete data provided to help explain why the interpretation of the results provided is incorrect and are required to draw their own...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of tunnel design engineer and STEM Ambassador Kate Woolley.

Kate designs and supervises the construction of tunnels and finds that she needs to use maths, physics and technology to make everyday decisions. Engineering, however, had not always seemed a...
