Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, this resource is a kinaesthetic activity in which students experience being part of a 'circuit'. A rope loop is passed around the group to represent the current flowing in a circuit. One student, the power supply, adds movement to the rope. The students see...

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

• Recognise that evaporation occurs in different liquids, not just water.
• Predict that evaporation will occur in liquids with a temperature that is less than or greater than that of...

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

• Recall that all living organisms need energy for life processes, which is provided by cellular respiration.
• Distinguish between cellular respiration and breathing, including the...

A walking tour along a stretch of the River Thames between Westminster and Tower Bridge to research the history, technology, design and use of some of the most iconic bridges in the world.

Learning outcomes

• Students could research by photographing or sketching other features...

London has evolved into one of the world’s great cities. As more people are attracted to London it is important that its infrastructure develops to cater for its change in size as well as getting its population to think about issues relating to sustainability when they make local journeys.

On 14 January 2005, the European probe Huygens entered the atmosphere of Titan - one of Saturn's moons. Based on this major event in space exploration, ESA offers a cartoon-style teaching aid with fact sheets for teachers to use in the classroom. The factsheets are available for use with different aged students -...

Explore Your Universe is a partnership between the UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres (ASDC) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The vision for the project is to inspire a new sense of excitement amongst young people and their families through telling the amazing stories and...

Exercise is important for people on Earth, but essential for astronauts who travel into space. Astronauts in space experience microgravity, and therefore do not have to use their muscles as much during everyday activities, so they begin to lose strength and their muscles become weak. To counteract these changes,...

In this activity students will explore the theme of electrical resistance by experimenting with an electronic...

This activity pack, aimed at children aged 5-11, contains a range of different activities based on the theme “Explore the future”. The activities cover a mixture of topics including; including: Earth and Space, food, the water cycle, forces, magnets, energy and the environment.

Designed either for use in...

Learning outcomes

• Students will have the opportunity to learn about solutions to the problems they have identified and investigate the importance of maths and statistics in future careers.
•  
• Students could be able to start making decisions about their future career...

In this activity, students are required to find a safe route through a notoriously perilous region of space called the Twilight Nebula.

They will be faced with a number of different threats but can maximise their chances of survival using a series of threat assessment readouts. Students will compare fraction...

In this activity, students investigate the use of binary numbers to explain how devices can be turned on or off. After a short introduction to binary numbers, students work in teams of four to demonstrate the number sequence from 1 to 15.

The ten activities within this pack investigate environmental issues including: the greenhouse effect, recycling, sustainable energy sources and thermal insulation. Aimed at primary level, they are designed either for use in class or within a science week or club. The activities promote investigative work and...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students find and determine the nature of stationary points when a function is given in parametric form and find the intercepts of the function. Students should already be able to find stationary points and their nature when equations are given in Cartesian form,...
