This infographic guide to teaching 11-14 year olds about digestion uses the RADAAR (research, anticipate, diagnose, address, assess, review).  The framework has been developed by the Best Evidence Science Teaching (BEST) project based at the University of York.  It looks at possible student misconceptions and how...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on radar technology. Students explore the how to build structures, then design and build their own radar tower.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

This activity is a space-themed coding project for learners, combining six to ten hours of STEM linked learning. These lessons use Scratch game creation to explore space and interplanetary missions.

This very successful citizen science project is run annually by the RSPB. It is an ideal opportunity for pupils of all ages to identify different bird species and count the numbers they see in the school grounds. Details about the competition and the RSPB supporting materials can be found...

This collection supports learning about the identification of birds, aspects of literacy, mathematics and design and technology. Created to support the Big Schools’ Birdwatch, the activities may also be used independent of the larger survey at other times of the year....

In this Cre8ate maths activity students learn that a simulation is a model of a real situation. Data for the birth rate of rabbits is provided and is used by students to develop their own model to simulate the breeding of rabbits in a field and consider the likely damage to the farmer’s crop. Initially this is done...

A collection of mathematical investigations designed for use with students aged nine to fourteen. [b]Contents include:[/b] activities covering arrangements and patterns using numbers, activities using a hundred square grid, sums and products, subtraction, calendars, networks, angles in polygons, what's my age?,...

This resource looks at how distance can be measured using sound. A brief description of sonar and radar is given, along with an explanation of the Doppler effect and the wave equation. Students then use this equation to answer a set of questions.

This activity booklet uses the real life context of air traffic control using radar signals to identify the position of an aeroplane that students act out. It provides them with an opportunity to use their knowledge of waves and speed = distance / time to calibrate and calculate the distance a plane is from the...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at radiation, and will make the student familiar with many forms of radiation, how it is measured, and what different doses can lead to over time. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in...

This resource pack was influenced by the misunderstandings revealed by the reporting of the Chernobyl accident. Many newspaper articles referred to the ‘cloud of radiation’ which had escaped from the reactor, and warned people not to drink rainwater or milk because they ‘contain radiation’. All the lessons are...
