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 ...

This lesson looks at different types of filament that can be used in polymer filament 3D printers. It compares ABS and PLA and asks students to discuss the sustainability of the 3D printing process.

This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. Comparing Datasets provides examples and ideas for comparing data using mean, mode median, interquartile range and standard deviation. The examples suggested are:

• Do males have faster reaction times than females?
• Is life expectancy higher...

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

• Recognise that stirring does not affect the solubility of a substance.

• Recognise that increasing the volume of solvent does not increase the solubility of a substance...

This maths-based challenge explores sustainable travel, developing student understanding of the effects that some modes of transport have on the environment and ways of reducing it.

Students are asked to compare alternative methods of transport by calculating journey times and their carbon footprints.  The...

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...

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, explores magnetism and how it is used in a compass. It is aimed at key stage 2, but the activities would also be suitable for introducing magnetism to key stage 3.

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

The resource includes matching cards to practise completing the square and helps relate the competed square form to the graph of the function.

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of complex numbers, often used in the field of engineering. They include the definition of a complex number and their associated arithmetic, the Argand diagram and polar form of a complex number, as well as the exponential form.

Comprehensive notes, with...

This collection of resources from MEI provides a series of hints, which are levelled, to prompt students through the questions in two exercises on complex numbers. Worked solutions for each question are also available.

MEI Online Resources provide this introduction to Complex Numbers for MEI FP1.

Detailed notes covering the number system, adding subtracting and multiplying complex numbers, complex conjugates, equations with complex roots, equating real and imaginary parts and crucial points to learn are included, together...
