This is a simple investigation where you connect a Geiger Muller tube to a variable voltage supply. You then place an alpha source in front of it and record the count rate for a variety of supply voltages to see how this impacts the count rate.

This resource investigates the use of pectin as a natural gelling agent in the manufacture of jams and preserves to retain their viscosity. A worksheet based task acts as an introduction, leading to investigations to identify the conditions necessary for gel formation using liquid pectin.

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

In this Genetic Futures workshop from the Centre for Science Education and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), students were asked to project themselves 50 years into the future to discover the breakthroughs that advances in DNA...

This Genetic Futures workshop, from the Centre for Science Education and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), provided an opportunity for students to think and talk about the potential benefits and problems of an advance in DNA technology...

This resource requires problem solving using skills in forming and factorising expressions.

Students begin by working out numerical examples where a number can be written as the difference of two square numbers. They need to choose systematic ways to collect and organise data, and examine it for patterns....

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context. The activities provide opportunities for children to extend their understanding of electricity by applying it to the concepts of electricity generation and its use in the...

This resources investigates how electrical energy is generated from renewable and non-renewable sources.

Suggested learning outcomes include:

• To know the difference between a renewable and a non-renewable source of energy.
• To understand how electrical energy is generated from at least...

The first of two RISP activities, Venn Diagrams explores lines in co-odinate geometry and quadratic functions...

There are three questions on this worksheet about genes, what they control and how we inherit them. A choice of answers is presented for children to shade in the correct one and there are pictures to support reading.

Published by the Wellcome Trust in 1997, this book provides challenging ways of incorporating scientific information into social situations. Teachers' notes complement the student activity sheets in a series of real-life scenarios.

This resource from Defence Dynamics can be used to help students consider the implications of genetic engineering. Stimulus materials look at the development of genetically modified food crops and a questionnaire helps students to consider their views on genetic engineering. The materials can be used to prompt a...
