In this video, Matt describes how he became a fisheries technical officer for the Environment Agency. His job is to monitor river habitats and fish populations, including improving the habitat and restocking fish after any pollution incidents.

The video could be used to introduce units of work including...

What is the perfect curve of a ball’s trajectory, what must the ideal turf be like, and...

This unit looks at 'fracking', the extraction of shale gas by hydraulic fracturing, as an application of science and considers who has access to, and influence over, decision-making processes which determine what risks are acceptable, and who they...

This resource includes a variety of activities which can be used to give students practice in converting between fractions, decimals and percentages.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This resource contains forty ‘rich starting points’ (or risps) for those studying Further Mathematics A Level. Each risp activity aims to make learning more exploratory and open-ended whilst still covering the syllabus requirements.

Each activity contains prompts or questions to be shared with students,...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

Generation Logistics is an initiative from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation to demonstrate to students and teachers the relevance of the logistics industry to their lives and the wide variety of career opportunities available.

The resources contained within this collection apply real-...

This series of logic puzzles requires students to read a story and extract relevant pieces of information to determine which person did what action in the story.

The logic puzzles can help build students' problem solving skills, extract information from longer more involved situations and break larger...

This collection of mathematics resources have been designed to show how mathematics is used in the real-world context of logistics and transportation. It includes open-ended problem-solving tasks which can be used as group work in class or as independent study...

This group of mathematical problem-solving activities use the context of Norwest, a small chain of mini supermarkets serving small towns in the North West of England. The activities show how mathematics can be applied to practical situations in the world of logistics.

This group of packing problems, sometimes referred to as bin packing problems, show how mathematics can be applied to practical situations in the world of logistics.They are an accessible gateway to solving problems in such a manner to find the greatest or least solution. Once students are familiar with simple...

This unit looks at 'geoengineering', which is the implementation of large-scale interventions into the Earth's climate to reduce the impact of climate change. This includes the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or reflection of solar...

This collection of resources from the Geological Society highlight some engaging ways to not only teach pupils about rocks, but also fossils, dinosaurs, volcanoes, earthquakes and extracting metal compounds from their ores. The primary and secondary collections are suitable for current teaching whereas the legacy...
