This resource gives a teacher the materials to be able to create a working wall on the topic of water which they can build and add to over a series of lessons.

The idea behind the working wall is that the resources are used to create a display which develops over a period of time as pupils undertake...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context.

Children follow the use of water from a reservoir, through an industrial site where it is treated, used as cooling water, and treated again before being returned to a...

Water for Everyone Everywhere is a hands-on enquiry based workshop that enables pupils to explore the global issues associated with water access and the role that engineering plays in water distribution.  In the main activity, the general principles of how filters work are explained before a  team activity to build...

This activity looks at water consumption on a local and global scale. Students learn about the main water contaminants and various methods of purification and the role of engineers and their approach to design challenges. The resource aims to inspire an interest in water conservation and to introduce students to...

In this set of three activities, pupils will spend a day recording how much water a person uses in an average day, followed by an experimental activity where they will use ‘lunar ice cores’ and filter them to get water. Through these activities, pupils will learn how a filtration system can be used to separate...

In this lesson students look at the related concepts of pressure and force (pressure = Force/ Area), units used, measurement and how a large force can result from pressure acting over a given area. They will move from calculating the weight (under gravity) of a column of water or air to the pressure of this as...

These fact sheets for primary aged pupils explore the how fresh water is needed for every part of our lives, and how access to clean water is becoming increasingly difficult with a growing population and changing climate so discovering new supplies and managing water carefully is more important than ever.

This resource requires students to consider where their water comes from and what life would be like if it were not readily available. It examines the importance of the water we use being clean and the consequences if that water is not clean. Students investigate simple ways of making dirty water clean and...

These resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, explore the theme of waterways.

This series introduces young readers to basic science principles in a friendly and accessible way. Early scientific skills are taught through a combination of experiments...

A collection of thirty two mathematical games. The aim of each is for students to decide whether there is a winning strategy. [b]The games are[/b]: take the pegs, Tetromino chase, Solitaire, remove the cube, make it twenty-four, total 87, hedge me in, grab the last cross, sticks game, strategic darts, square chase...

The We Are Aliens! teaching resources were produced to support the planetarium show made by NSC Creative. They have been produced by lead educators from the National Space Academy to use the context of space to teach physics, chemistry and biology in the curriculum. The resources contain practical activities,...

This resource provides teachers notes on a Climate Change themed transition day for children in their last term in primary school. There are six activities, which support children in understanding the difference between weather and climate, identifying temperature trends over time, making connections with their...

This animation describes how Earth Observation satellites, such as METOP, allows us to forecast the weather and to measure changes in the climate and monitor natural disasters.  It also describes how the satellites are monitored by engineers on the ground to ensure they are functioning correctly.
