In this Future Morph video Suresh Chawla talks about designing, building and moving stage scenery. Suresh explains how working in the theatre challenges him to solve design problems and build useable solutions. He describes how scenery must be light and strong before explaining how some pieces are moved with pulley...

This resource can be used to organise a class debate on the various solutions to London’ s ...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore what we mean by climate change and what greenhouse gases are. They match the molecule diagrams to their descriptions and investigate rising temperature by setting up mini greenhouses. They also explore the lifecycle of an...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils design a virtual cockpit and learn to think like a pilot, working systematically to move people and medical supplies. They will also create programs to test reaction times, stress levels and check temperature then put together a...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore the materials they know and how they might be grouped. They also consider what materials they could use to regulate temperature and protect against the cold. They create a bouncy ball using a synthetic material and...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore flight in nature investigating biomimicry and flight technology. They consider what the forces of flight are and investigate forces with gliders and through using a wind tunnel.

If the original physical materials...

This resource contains four treasure hunts. Each treasure hunt contains twenty questions. Each page contains the answer to one of the other questions, the question to be answered and a box containing the card number. Students are required to answer the questions and record the order in which the questions were...

The following classroom activities have been developed from SEPnet’s (South East Physics Network) GCSE programme. The activities are designed to use inexpensive equipment and tie in with the key themes for Key Stage Four physics in England and Wales. These themes...

The aim of this activity is for students to use tiddlywinks to represent sections of jumping genes, which they then flick onto a poster which is representative of a section of the human genome. Where their "gene" lands either will or will not disrupt the gene and may then cause disease. An accompanying PowerPoint...

This video interview with Professor John Christie of the University of Glasgow, introduces students to fluorescent reporter proteins and their importance to our understanding of cell biology.

GFP – the protein that allows jellyfish to glow their...

In this investigation you will use a GHz oscillations transmitter and receiver to see how different factors affect the signal received. The two main ways are altering the distance between the transmitter and receiver, or keeping this distance the same and altering the angle of the transmitter. An example of graphs...

Satellite navigation is a key technology for today’s society, allowing for global navigation on land, at sea and in the air. The technology depends upon accurate atomic clocks, which help us...
