In this Bowland assessment task, students are shown a picture of one of the clock faces from the Royal Liver building that was once used as a table. Students are asked to estimate how many people could sit around this table. The diameter of the clock is given in feet so that the circumference can be calculated....

This set of resources, from The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Life Support Team, is aimed at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teachers at Key Stage Two to Four. The resources use the essential work of the RNLI to provide a real-life context for students to explore key STEM topics and...

This resource from the IET supports learning about imperial and metric measurements, chemical reactions and properties of materials in the context of making Christmas butter cookies shaped like Rudolph. There is also a wordsearch that can be used to check understanding and vocabulary.

This Cre8ate maths activity gives the opportunity for accurate measurement, scale drawing and calculations involving pi. If there is access to a running track, students look at how the track is marked out and distances measured accurately for runners in each of the lanes. Alternatively, if a track is not available...

These Cre8ate maths activities draw on the mathematics of combinatorial thinking and involve a set of functional maths activities.

These resources were developed by the South East Physics Network SEPnet. They include a resource with multiple activities that focus on topics in the Key Stage Three and Four Physics syllabus and a number of resources that use different sports as a context to engage students in scientific investigation.
