This Catalyst article looks at how the spread of raspberry plants has an impact on environments it is not native to, the Galápagos Islands in particular. Many non-native plants are present on the Galápagos Islands, this article shows how a...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about rates at A level. Curriculum links include  collision theory, rates experiments, reaction mechanisms, rate equations, half-life, calculations, order of reaction, graphs, rate-determining step, and kinetics.

In this resource students are given the coordinates for each vertex of a triangle, with two of the vertices being horizontal. The challenge is to determine the ratio of the tangents of two of the angles.

Each student worksheet has a different triangle, but the solutions all have something in common.

This resource contains a worksheet, bingo cards and matching cards to give learners practice in simplifying ratios.

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

In this activity students tackle the problem of assigning a level of difficulty of various texts and books. The reading age is about the level of difficulty of text rather than the reading competence of the reader. The resource comprises an overview, teacher guidance...

Produced by the Spode Group with the intention of providing a collection of applications for teachers and students to be able to appreciate relevant uses of mechanics. The applications include: *N men in a boat - components and moment forces *High jump techniques - projectiles, impulse, centre of mass *The shot...

From the LSIS, these materials cover two sessions designed to take students through the basic principles of manipulating and solving equations. The learners work through building an equation, checking the equation and solving the equation. They are then asked to create their own equation and swap it with a partner...

This Working Paper has been written to inform all those who are concerned about the status and nature of Design & Technology in the secondary school curriculum. It has been developed in response to the serious and continuing decline in the uptake of GCSE Design & Technology since the subject was introduced...

This interactive file shows the graphs of functions and the graph of the corresponding reciprocal function. It begins with the graph of a linear function where the gradient and intercept can be changed. The reciprocal is plotted on the same diagram. The next two sheets...

This series of videos, named Recollections, shows how Werner von Siemens, who had an inventive mind and a knack for new technology, went from being a soldier to building a global corporation. It is a good example of how careers can change dramatically and persistence has its rewards.

Purpose: Digital tools have radically changed the way that fieldwork data can be recorded and saved. There is no longer a need for clipboards and pencils in the field, as digital technology can record details of observations, times, location and images within a single app. This data can be saved to an online data...

This article focuses on Laboratory Astrophysics - the recreation of the conditions of space in the laboratory.

The shortage of specialist teachers of mathematics has been a concern for many years and this resource, from the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), is designed to help organisations focus upon a plan of action, which will lead to better recruitment and retention of mathematics teachers.
