Produced by the Institute of Physics, these activities demonstrate the Doppler effect.

Using sound and microwaves, the activities illustrate how changes in wavelength of spectral lines allow us to determine the motion of astronomical objects relative to ourselves.

The activities include:
*...

From the Institute of Physics, these resources help students to understand that cosmology is the study of the Universe, its origins, history and possible future. In these activities, students look at the expanding universe and cosmology. There are two learning episodes in this topic:...

Produced by the Institute of Physics, in this learning episode, students look at the expanding universe by examining galaxies, Hubble's observations and cosmological red shift. A simple activity allows students to model Hubble's law.

Through discussion and activities, students look at:
* observing a...

From the Institute of Physics, these activities encourage students to discuss the origins, history and future of the universe. Through a range of discussions and activities, students look at:
• the hot big bang
• the age of the Universe
• cosmic microwave background radiation
• the future of...

Produced for the Department for Education, this document outlines support materials for students aged 16-19 on issues relating to ethnicity, gender, disaffection, learners with special educational needs and gifted young people.

In this problem students are given two circles with tangents that meet at a point P. The distance along the tangents from the circles to the point P are equal in length. The challenge is to describe the relationship between the x and y coordinates of the point P, given the coordinates of the centre of the circles...

This activity requires students to calculate net income after tax and national insurance have been deducted. Students then are asked to discuss if the progressive taxation system is fair. Answers to each of the calculations are available.

The presentation shows how income tax and national insurance rates are...

This workbook was created by the former Department for Children, Schools and Families' Equality and Diversity Unit to help colleagues conduct equality impact assessments with the minimum of technical difficulty and with the policy rigour that is required.

These materials provide examples of effective practice in equality and diversity within STEM subjects and careers. 

The non-statutory guidance containing information on what schools need to do to meet their requirements under the equality duties can be found...

Produced in 2011 by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these case studies describe work done by practitioners to promote and enhance equality and diversity for learners across STEM subjects.

These projects, drawn from organisations across the FE and skills sector, show a wide range of...

This excel program is about finding the equation of straight lines in the form ax+by+c=0. The first two sheets deals with the equation of the line through two given points and the equation of the line through a point perpendicular to a given line. The resource is an...
