These resources can be used to support British Science Week 2024 activities around the theme of 'Time'.

Suitable for secondary level.  

Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine. Addiction is a term we all use, but what does it mean? Explore some of the ways people understand addiction.

Find out about the science behind addictions. Two lesson plans are also included. The Deadliest Drugs...

A good A-level physics revision video linked to adding vectors.  Here you look at how this can be done both mathematically or using scale drawings, by being taken through each method step by step.  This is ideal for revision and could be used in a lesson or shared with students.

From the National Non-Food Crops Centre, this factsheet looks at the issues that surround using land for the growth of biofuel crops rather than food crops. Growing biomass for the energy market could reduce dependence on finite petrochemicals, potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enrich rural businesses...

This collection of resources provides a range of strategies for effective behaviour management, with tips and guidance and practical ideas to try out.

This series of ten resources produced by The Royal Academy of Engineering look at a range of exemplars to help the teaching and learning of the Advanced Diploma in Construction and Built Environment. Each resource gives a case study and includes introductory materials, background theory, questions and teacher...

This collection contains a range of resources produced by organisations such as the Royal Academy of Engineering and with the support of industrial partners including npower, Thales and Laing O'Rourke. Each of the resources helps to look at aspects of engineering in real-life contexts. Materials will be useful for...

Although written to support the Scottish Advanced Higher Project, this is a useful resource for all advanced independent research projects.   The philosophy behind the booklet is that students should be supported in developing their skills of investigation. Students should not be abandoned to their fate, nor should...

A case study from Mathematics Matters which looks at how mathematics is applied in the animation industry. The computer animation industry relies on a steady stream of mathematics to produce the fantastic images found on our cinema and television screens. Advanced mathematics also fuels developments in other areas...

In this Catalyst article, Laura Plant describes the time she spent in the Amazon rainforest in northern Peru on a project researching the impacts of forestry on the plants and animals that live there.

In tropical regions, large areas of rainforests have been untouched for centuries. This means that many rare...

Activities are posts made by educators to share a volunteering opportunity and request support. Here you will find examples of good activity postings for secondary and FE settings to be used as inspiration for your own posts.

Steve analyses the flow of air over racing cars. He studied aero-mechanical engineering at university and following a two week summer placement, at Lola cars, he was offered a position in the company.

This Catalyst article investigates the nature of aerogels, which are among the least dense solid materials, not much denser than air. Aerogels were made as the result of a bet and ended up going into space to capture comet dust. They are the lightest solids which exist and have some unusual features.

The...
