This resource was produced by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) as part of their 'At Work With Science' materials. In this interactive resource, students are introduced to the legal aspects of the Health and Safety regulations; the concept of risk assessments and how to develop them....

In this resource from stats4schools, students are asked to investigate if they are at risk from the sun by looking at a news article and using a dataset. Students process data and produce graphs using ICT, comprehend current information on a subject and synthesise this for others. They also use the internet to...

Professor Saiful Islam is a chemist who never wears a white lab coat. Rather than conduct experiments in laboratories, he uses the world's most powerful computers to produce computer models of the inner, 'atomic' structure of materials used in 'green' energy applications, from the lithium ion rechargeable batteries...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand value for money and relating this to a graph.

A graph is presented with six points. The graph plots price against weight for different bags of sugar. Students answer various questions relating the weight and price of bags. They must then determine...

The Salters' Science Focus course provides a rich variety of different types of learning activities, which are described in sufficient detail to be taken and adapted into any Key Stage Three scheme of work. This guide covers Year Seven of the course Science Focus: the...

The Science Focus: the Salters’ Approach course provides a rich variety of different types of learning activities, which are described in sufficient detail to be taken and adapted into any Key Stage Three scheme of work. This guide covers Year Eight of the course, suggesting a scheme of work for each of nine units...

The Salters’ science courses were developed in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s to provide a complete balanced course in science for Key Stages Three and Four (ages 11-16). This section of the STEM elibrary covers the Key Stage Three materials. The timing of the development allowed a particularly close relationship...

Can students place the digits 1 to 4 on a grid so that equal sums are given along vertical and horizontal lines? How many different arrangements are possible? The resource also includes a further challenge for ‘experts’ that uses the numbers from 1 to 7 on an ‘H’ shaped grid.

A grid is made by placing six circles around an equilateral triangle. The numbers 5 to 10 are to be placed on the grid so that the sum along each side of the triangle is the same.

In a diagram with three overlapping circles the numbers 1 to 8 have been placed so that the sum of the numbers in each circle is 12. Can students move the numbers so that the sum in each circle is 13? The resource includes further challenges such as making the largest sums possible and making every sum from 12 up...

This resource from CensusAtSchool aimed at Year Nine students is a complete set of five or six lessons which gives an idea of how to implement the project in the classroom using the students' own data.

There are...

A set of sample plans from the National Strategies looking at number, algebra, geometry and measures.

Each sample plan identifies the required prior knowledge, suitable teaching approaches, list of resources and the expected learning outcomes. The resources to implement the lessons accompany the plans as...

This activity allows pupils to learn how to analyse samples on Mars. Students are given the opportunity to use targeted information in areas of astrobiology and geology, to work out what their rovers have found on Mars surface and to think like a geologist as they investigate stratigraphy (layers or rocks) using...
