Produced by Solar Spark, this activity shows how two metal plates and a person, can make a battery (cell). This helps to demonstrate how a solar photovoltaic cell works.

A solar cell has two electrodes. These have to be connected up to make a circle which we call an electrical circuit. One side is connected...

'What will happen as we use up fossil fuels? Are we facing an energy crisis? Where will we get our energy from in the future?'

Understanding the nature of energy, how it moves from one place to another and how it can be changed from one form to another will help us harness energy more effectively in the...

Seven activity sheets produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) to accompany the MODEL Project's Harnessing Energy video.

Worksheet one takes an overview of the topic. Worksheets two - seven are targeted at specific sections of the video.

Answers to all the worksheet questions are provided in the...

Eight practicals produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) that help students to understand energy transfer and transformation and the use of energy in its various forms.

Accompanied by the Teacher and technicians'...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the unit called ‘Senses’. This B unit provided enough material for six double periods in the third year of secondary school (year nine). The teachers’ guide included seven worksheets to supplement the students’...

The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Heat was first published in 1982 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about fire, fuels, effects of heat and heat conductors and insulators. It is intended for children aged 8-11 to...

Heat is one of the titles in the series of ASE Lab Books that were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title covered one or two topics and brought together the best of the teaching notes and experimental ideas from...

In this activity from the European Space Agency, students communicate with a rover on "Mars". The objective of the mission is to send an automatic message from Earth to a rover located on Mars via an Orbiter. This message is sent by a programmed, LEGO-built, robot running an automatic switch. The rover on Mars...

Written for the Association for Science Education (ASE) to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of radioactivity in 1896, units in this book cover aspects of radioactivity including the underlying science, its applications and social and environmental consequences.

A variety of activities are suggested...
