The Earth's population is increasing, but at the same time the amount of suitable farmland is decreasing due to factors including climate change and the growth of cities. Producing sufficient food to feed everyone is a global challenge. This activity sheet builds on students' knowledge of photosynthesis and plant...

This resource uses the context of a car to distinguish between physical and chemical changes. The activities could be used after the concept of physical and chemical changes has been taught to reinforce the learning.  A series of differentiated worksheets describe events that happen to a car and pupils have to help...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify natural ways in which rock can be physically broken up.           
• Identify natural ways in which rock can be eroded.    
• Describe the difference between...

The films in this collection cover aspects of space science, including telescopes, black holes, dark matter, the scale of the universe and light years.

The pack contains three packages of physics-based activities for STEM clubs:

• section 1 contains nine activities, each of which can be run over two to three sessions.
• section 2 contains 20 short “physics to go” experiments, most of which also have an accompanying video.
• ...

These resources are from the Institute of Physics and consist of a range of posters that illustrate physics-related careers. The posters cover a wide range of careers and include:

Physicists Predict, Protect, Inspire and Save: Nicola Lang - geophysicist, Emma Sowter - medical physicist,  ...

This series of videos have been produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics. They are mostly aimed at teachers and illustrate how to perform simple demonstrations and use particular pieces of equipment. Some topics have versions of the...

This guide is designed to help you deliver the principles of particle and nuclear physics through engaging activities using LEGO® bricks.

The resource is split into three topics: evolution of the universe, nuclear reactions and particle physics. All the resources in each topic are colour coded to match....

Physics and the Earth Sciences for Middle Schools is one of the titles in the series of ASE Lab Books that were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title covered one or two topics and brought together the best of...

In this series of activities, students work in teams, learn about engineering by taking on different roles and learn how physics applies in the context of planning a music...

Produced by the Centre for Education and Employment Research (CEER), this report sets out to identify how some schools are increasing participation in post-16 physics whilst the general trend is for a seemingly inexorable decline in physics education. Authors Alan Smithers and Pamela Robinson, looked at A level...

This report, produced by the Centre for Education and Emplyment Research (CEER), looks at specialist physics teacher supply and retention in English schools. Physics is at the sharp end of teacher recruitment. It is the subject that schools find most difficult to staff. Some schools do not teach it, and others that...

In this activity students roll rice filled balls (to mimic boccia balls) down a slope and measure the distance that they roll after the end of the slope. The ball is released from different heights up the slope and a graph of stopping distance is plotted. Students must then compete to roll their balls to a target...
