Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet covers black holes and the Schwarzschild radius. Included is an online video that discusses what is inside a black hole. Equations and physical terms are introduced and discussed. Questions and answers are included that test a student’s understanding of the...

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, begins with a video that names and describes some the different layers of the atmosphere, with the aim of explaining where the ...

This poster shows how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities. It features five electronics and engineering specialists working in the telecommunications industry. They develop a range of technology such as Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.

This video uses an anechoic chamber to investigate whether an echoless environment can significantly change our perceptions.

This video demonstrates how the eye tracks motion in such a way that determining whether an object is accelerating is very difficult. So, we need another way to measure motion.

This video demonstrates how a theory cannot be proved.  Theories at best allow observations to be explained at that time, but there may be other explanations still to be discovered. The scientific method is rigorous in attempting to disprove a theory. Only when we fail to disprove our theories do we say we have...

Produced by the Maths Magic project, Can’t Stand Up? provides teacher inspiration for introducing the topic of forces in an A-level mathematics or physics lesson. The plan describes two simple experiments asking a student to stand against a wall and then attempt to perform seemingly simple tasks. The tasks are...

These resources are to support teams entering the UK CanSat Competition or European CanSat Competition.  Details of how to enter the competition can be found through https://www.stem.org.uk/esero/cansat for the UK competition, and ...

The Teaching Primary Science book Candles uses the study of candles to illustrate how much science can come from the study of everyday objects. It describes a selection of the many investigations which start from candles and which give some idea of what science is. The...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about capacitors at A level. Curriculum links include capacitance, the storage of energy and charge along with associated charging and discharging characteristics.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS and...

This activity sheet applies students' knowledge of equations of motion to consider vehicle braking distance the context of potholes.

In this SATIS Revisited resource students consider the factors that contribute to the greenhouse effect, the possible effects of global warming, and how they as individuals are contributing to carbon dioxide emissions.

Climate change is affecting the natural world. The distribution of some species appears to...
