These resources use the theme of football to link to STEM subjects and careers. Activities suitable for younger pupils are at the top of the list, and resources aimed at older students towards the end.

This collection contains a whole range of resources derived from ESA (European Space Agency) research. Many activities can be carried out as stand-alone lessons or mini projects in a STEM Club setting, as well as longer term student research projects ideal for EPQ purposes. There are many demonstrations to show...

This critical analysis activity for Core Maths students asks students to manipulate data to solve problems based on Eurovision Song Contest information from 2015’s competition.

Eurovision 2015: Overview
This teacher guidance gives an overview of the task including prior student...

This lesson develops concepts relating to radicals. In particular, students will enhance their understanding of:

• Use the properties of exponents, including rational exponents and manipulate algebraic statements involving radicals.
• Discriminate between equations and identities.
  In this...

These videos guide you through the process of evaluating the impact of changes you make to teaching approaches in your classroom. The evaluation approaches described here will enable you to tell whether new approaches are more effective than what they have replaced. You'll be able to make evidence-informed...

This report, published in March 2012 by the National Foundation for Educational Research,
presents the findings of an evaluation of the Wellcome Trust’s Camden Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Initiative which provided funding to eight Camden schools to develop interdisciplinary...

This collection holds a variety of evaluation reports and reviews that cover a range of projects around STEM initiatives and policy. Reports in the collection cover research into: * STEM cross-curricular work (STEM Pathfinder) * mentoring support for science and mathematics teachers (Starting Out) * scale and...

Published by LSIS, this case study is based on work done by Longley Park Sixth Form College. The college recognised that they needed to bridge the gap between GCSE and A level and that only engaging with students once they arrived at college, post-16, was too late. To rectify this, Longley Park gained funding from...

This resource consists of ten topics, each section containing a brief explanation, examples and exercises.

Sets begins with a definition of a set and continues with the elements of a set, set notation, subsets, intersection and union of sets, Venn diagrams, the laws of sets and concludes...

This Core Maths PowerPoint presentation contains five experiments involving marbles that explore a range of topics including listing outcomes, tree diagrams and the multiplicative and additive properties of probability.

This publication from the Department for Education lists ten tips on how to help young students make informed decisions about STEM courses and careers. A list of useful websites including information on STEM initiatives and careers is also provided.

Coding spreadsheet enables students to analyse the effect of coding data. Students can manipulate the values for x and the frequencies by which each value of x occurs. Students are required to understand and explain why the particular coding has been used. Once the question has been generated students calculate the...

Outlier tester is a very simple but fun spreadsheet that gives students the chance to explore the definition of an outlier using the interquartile range to determine the values beyond which outliers fall. Sheet two provides definitions for determining where outliers fall. By manipulating the outlier values and/or...

Playing with the quartiles for a small data set involves students using the values 1,3,5 and 7 on the spreadsheet to get the target quartile values for sample sizes of 20, 21, 22 and 23. The aim is to note by how much, or how little, difference to the quartiles is made by increasing the sample size by one. Sheet...
