Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on mensuration and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years. Each section offers an overview of a...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Charged particles’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included seven worksheets to supplement the...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:

• The importance of metals
• The characteristics of metals
• The relationship between the properties of metals and their uses
• Problems of corrosion

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP).

Metals have been used for many thousands of years, but it was only in the 20th century that an understanding developed of how their properties could be explained in terms of their...

This collection of resources support the teaching of metals (including ferrous and non-ferrous), mechanical properties and metal production. The resources are a combination of presentations, student worksheet and whole class quizzes.

In this activity, students will learn about the properties of the different types of Earth rocks and the rock cycle. They will also learn the basics of meteorite hunting. They will then apply this, along with the use of a classification chart and scientific testing, to identify the samples in their meteorite hunter...

In this lesson, students will investigate some of the loan box’s meteorites and associated rocks. They will test them for magnetism and perform a visual analysis of the samples. In addition, they will make a to scale model of the samples out of plasticine and perform a displacement test to allow them to determine...

This worksheet challenges students to manipulate and convert units of measurement. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

Learners will create a prototype food temperature probe...

In this activity, learners will use the micro:bit to develop a prototype for a pedestrian crossing for a local secondary...

These resources, from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and e-Bug, provide a comprehensive introduction and solid grounding in microbes, their use, hygiene and also microbes in infectious diseases. The resources contain extensive teacher guidance, stimulus materials, animations and suggestions for student...

In this experiment students prepare a smear slide of yoghurt and observe Gram stained bacteria using a microscope. The lesson also looks at magnification and representing numbers in standard form.
