Professor Sanjeev Gupta explains how scientists from many different disciplines have been brought together for the European Space Agency Aurora programme.  Scientists and engineers also speak about how exciting it is to be working on a search for life on other planets. 

This video is part of a series of ten...

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these investigations look at how pigments change during the fruit ripening process.

The green colour of the unripe fruit is due largely to the presence of...

The nineteen activities within this pack investigate colour and link to many topics at primary level including: light and sight, plants, properties of materials and habitats. Designed to demonstrate key ideas and concepts and to spark an interest in science and engineering, they could be used in class or within a...

This teaching guide provides a range of ideas and resources for teaching about communicable disease and the immune system at A level. Curriculum links include pathogen, bacteria, virus, fungus, protoctista, transmission, immunity, antibodies, autoimmune diseases, vaccination and antibiotics.

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

This worksheet asks children to colour in grids to show what percentage of our genes we share with a number of plants, animals and microbes. The activity can be supported with the animation ...

In this activity, students plan an investigation to compare two clinical thermometers or two blood pressure devises.   They will need to investigate:

• the key features needed by a clinical thermometer or blood pressure monitor. The generic features required by physiological measuring devices are...

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

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to investigate the effect of competitive and non-competitive inhibitors on the enzyme beta-galactosidase.

The chemical ONPG (o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside) is degraded by the enzyme beta-galactosidase. The product is...
