This very basic video shows what people believe water is.  It might be useful as a discussion point.

This poster provides examples of the types of skills that you can develop whilst learning robotics, including:

• problem solving
• teamwork
• creativity

With the increasing pressure of a growing human population it is becoming increasingly difficult to conserve natural habitats. Ultimately, not every green space can be afforded conservation protection. This field study encourages students to act as environmental scientists to compare different habitats and decide...

Conditions on other planets are unlikely to be within the same ranges as that experienced by Earth. However, a degree of variance from ‘ideal’ ranges may be tolerable for a small number of organisms known as extremophiles. This investigation looks at the effects of subjecting a living organism (yeast) to some...

This Cre8ate maths activity motivates the use of averages, ranges, percentages, bar charts, pie charts, and tables to make comparisons, interpretations and conclusions. The students can perform the "What is in your bowl?" activities to investigate serving amounts and what is eaten for breakfast. The data collection...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Calculus. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

Students solve differential equations to find functions to model the value of a car in terms of its age. Then they compare their results with real data.

These student handouts contain text and questions about:

• Classifi...

This booklet has been provided by More Maths Grads and it has been written to help answer one of the common questions heard in mathematics classrooms up and down the country, and even one in the Houses of Parliament - what's the point of learning all this maths stuff? The logic and organisation of a mathematical...

This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. What’s the Question? provides an activity to act as stimuli for work on the geometry of straight lines and circles. The activity consists of two mathematical diagrams. Students are asked to generate questions that could be asked related to each diagram. The...

A triangle is shown divided into two regions by a straight line, resulting in the triangle being split into a smaller triangle and a cyclic quadrilateral. A task is set to determine the ratio of an angle and an opposite side. In each of the numerical examples given the answer to 6 significant figures is 14.
