This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Questionnaires and analysis covers: questionnaire design, data display and line graphs.

The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet, extra exercises...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind queuing at a shop till.

"Queuing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. In queuing theory, a model is...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on radar technology. Students explore the how to build structures, then design and build their own radar tower.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

This activity is a space-themed coding project for learners, combining six to ten hours of STEM linked learning. These lessons use Scratch game creation to explore space and interplanetary missions.

This is quick starter activity for A-level students aged 17-18. The aim of the activity is to revise the key differences between RISC and CISC processors and to ensure students can explain which architecture should be used in a given situation.

Bernadette Malcolmson is the author of the resource.

In this Cre8ate maths activity students learn that a simulation is a model of a real situation. Data for the birth rate of rabbits is provided and is used by students to develop their own model to simulate the breeding of rabbits in a field and consider the likely damage to the farmer’s crop. Initially this is done...

This activity, provided by the Association for Science Education (ASE), is of a bank of resource sheets designed to be very flexible for use with students at appropriate places in your curriculum.

Race builds upon a theme of variation in the context of race, skin colour, inherited diseases and human...

This activity aimed at primary learners, links to work explanatory texts and D & T by looking at the processes involved in the production, use and disposal of drinks cans. During the lesson opportunities also arise for discussing the environmental benefits of recycling steel and aluminium and the costs of...

A collection of mathematical investigations designed for use with students aged nine to fourteen. [b]Contents include:[/b] activities covering arrangements and patterns using numbers, activities using a hundred square grid, sums and products, subtraction, calendars, networks, angles in polygons, what's my age?,...

This lesson sets the scene for the study of the Lunar Discs, and gets students to think about the contexts and history leading to the collection of the Lunar samples in the loan boxes. By considering the events of the space race, role playing taking a moonwalk, and considering the actions of the astronauts,...

This resource looks at how distance can be measured using sound. A brief description of sonar and radar is given, along with an explanation of the Doppler effect and the wave equation. Students then use this equation to answer a set of questions.

This activity booklet uses the real life context of air traffic control using radar signals to identify the position of an aeroplane that students act out. It provides them with an opportunity to use their knowledge of waves and speed = distance / time to calibrate and calculate the distance a plane is from the...

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module introduced a source detector model for thinking about radiations. This model was used as students explored the transmission, absorption and reflection of radiation and then went on to learn about the radiations from...
