This resource suggests a number of investigations into bee behaviour which can be used to:

• develop an understanding of the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, including food webs and insect pollinated crops
• consider the importance of insect pollination in human food security
...

From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of:

* Resultant force sets acceleration
* Accumulating changes velocity and displacement
* Measures of 'quantity of motion'
* Force pairs replace...

Produce by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet provides a brief overview of Newton’s law of gravitation, speed, distance and time, standard form and cosmological units. A description of Newton’s law of gravitation is supported by an online video that discusses the end of the Universe. This is followed by...

The Thames is a working river, providing transport, trade and of course water to London but also presenting significant engineering challenges, such as defence of the city from flooding. This unit covers the topics of pressure in liquids and gases and simple machines from the key stage 3 science curriculum and uses...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe the effect of a resultant force on objects of different mass.
• Describe the relationship between the resultant force on an object and its acceleration.
• Explain the...

The resources in this collection support the teaching of the following key concepts in the topic of forces:

• What forces do

• Describing forces

• Balanced and unbalanced forces

• Friction

• Energy stores and transfers

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module explored forces and motion to include collisions and explosions explained in terms of momentum. In the section about space the treatment covered circular motion as well as kinetic and potential energy. Activities in the...

The Forces Sub-Collection is made up of pedagogical guidance and classroom materials for use with students. All materials were published by the Key Stage Three Strategy and the Secondary Strategy between 2002 and 2008.

From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of:

* Forces - a way of looking at the world
* Contact forces
* Non-contact forces

Each topic is explored from the following perspectives:

•...

In the STEAM activity pupils will use their understanding of air resistance to design and make a parachute for a pilot. Pupils will use a range of materials and test their parachutes before recording and analysing the data. This resource is part of a series of resources produced by Rolls Royce and covers key areas...
