The purpose of this booklet in The Unilever Advanced Series was to explain proteins to post-16 students as simply as possible in chemical terms, while putting the subject into the context of the biochemical significance of the molecules. The booklet was first published...

This Catalyst article looks at the noble gases (Group 0 or 8 in the periodic table) which are almost inert. This article shows how they were discovered through the use of fractional distillation and looks at their chemical and physical properties.

This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2011,...

This booklet examines the development of engineering expertise and makes recommendations on ways to harness, encourage, facilitate and reward it. Covering all Key Stages from Foundation Stage to post-16 and higher education, the booklet states the case for design and technology in schools to encourage an...

This resource has been compiled primarily for mathematics teachers of the 16-18 age range through support from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester by four teachers who were central to the RAMP A level course from its inception.

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation looks at the theorem of cross-ratio, of four complex numbers, which is of great interest in a field of mathematics known as projective geometry and has an ancient history.

The activity is designed to...

This document introduces 'The Crystal' building in the Royal Docks, London which is designed to improve knowledge of urban sustainability.

This report, written for the Science Council and published in September 2011, explores the potential for an increase in registrations to the Chartered Scientist register (CSci) which recognises high levels of professionalism and competence in science. The aim is to expand registration to technician and intermediate...

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book is historical and traces the discovery of the group of elements that we now call the ‘noble gases’.

There are three parts to this...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this activity the distribution of prime numbers, proved by Hadamard and de la Vallée Poussin in 1896, is investigated using an Excel spreadsheet program, Autograph and the Prime Number Theorem.

The resource is...

This Catalyst article investigates how humans can misjudge the weights of small dense objects and large, light objects and how their perception of weight is easily fooled.

The Duston school was one of one of twenty initial Lead Schools for Core Maths, providing support to a network of other schools as they look to deliver mathematics to all post 16 pupils.

Discover more about how Core Maths was delivered by a team of three teachers, working in close collaboration to develop...

The object of this resource, produced by ESA and ESO, is to present various small projects that will pass on some of the excitement and satisfaction in scientific discovery, to students. Using elementary geometrical and physical considerations, students will be able to derive answers that are comparable with the...

This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at how scientists plan to measure the Earth's magnetic field from space, why one researcher is in the frozen town of Churchill in northern Canada, and how the Chernobyl disaster still affects Northern...

This Catalyst article investigates the Ebola outbreak. Defeating the outbreak of the viral disease Ebola in 2014-15 required great medical effort. Antidotes and vaccines are under development.
