The Nuffield Primary Science in-service pack was created to introduce teachers to the SPACE approach and its potential for the teaching and learning of science in primary schools. The pack follows the SPACE approach in content and style so that teachers can experience...

This in-service training pack, from the Centre for Science Education, was developed to help subject leaders to make effective use of the Engineering a Better World resources. The aims of the pack are to:

*enable leading teachers to develop their team's experience and expertise when integrating engineering...

In this activity students consider what incentives motivate people to modify their behaviour in the context of studying how people can be persuaded to change their electricity consumption.

They study a research...

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this book looks at providing opportunities in science for students with specific learning needs. As well as advice and guidance, it includes details of a range of practical activities and investigations. The book illustrates: * potential barriers to...

This lesson develops the concept of percentage increase and decrease. In particular students will develop their understanding of:

• Translating between percentages, decimals, and fractions.
• Representing percent increase and decrease as multiplication.
• Recognizing the relationship...

In this activity aimed at ages 7-8, learners explore the nutritional content of food and how humans obtain nutrition from the food they eat. They investigate the amount of sugar in different fizzy...

This resource from Susan Wall contains five activities designed to enable students to explore indices both numerically and algebraically. The resource features a number of activities dealing with negative indices and fractional indices.

Starter activities: contains two starter activities. In...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to index notation and standard form on the way to the determination of the size of a molecule. It builds up from simple rice-counting and paper-cutting to experiments in chemistry and...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Indices and standard form covers: index notation, the laws of indices, negative indices, standard form and fractional indices.

The initial file forms part of the textbook...

This RISP activity from can be used when either consolidating or revising ideas of curve-sketching and indices. The numbers phi, e and pi are used in this investigation where students are asked to estimate the size numbers generated when raising these numbers to different powers. It is suggested that a graphing...

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to look at the induction of the lac operon in the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Lactose is found in milk but not in many...

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this guide aims to help schools and science-based companies make the best use of their opportunities to liaise together. It concentrates upon using link activities to enrich aspects of the school science curriculum but there are many principles in the...
