This well presented resource contains activities to help students identify predators and prey from their characteristics and adaptations.  It is then extended with activities to help students use the correct language to explain why certain characteristics are useful for prey. 

A series of flashcards with...

In this unit of work students consider the implications of prenatal ultrasound in terms of the risks of screening and the certainty of results. It also asks them to consider the ethical and moral implications of the decisions that may arise due to the results of a prenatal ultrasound and...

For the g-forces activity pupils will be able to discuss how astronauts use forces to simulate the effect of launch and landing on their bodies, when preparing to go into space. The pupils look at the forces on a ball at the end of a piece of elastic and discuss the forces on an Astronaut in a centrifuge. For the...

The fourth and final Royal Society ‘state of the nation’ report considers the ‘pool’ of the UK’s 16–19 year old students taking mainstream science and mathematics combinations suitable for entry to higher education. It makes three major points about these students.

• The size of this ‘pool’ is critical to...

In this activity, students use the data gathered during the Wii Fitness investigation to contextualise cumulative frequency curves. Curriculum links include grouped data, cumulative frequency graphs. box plots, median, quartiles and distribution.

This activity has been designed to help pupils understand the effects of water pressure on animals that live in the deep sea.

To complete the activity, pupils simply need to put a mini marshmallow into a plastic syringe and cover the tip with their finger. Air pressure inside can be decreased by pulling the...

This is a resource to aid primary mathematics co-ordinators when planning in-service training (INSET) sessions. Whilst some of the specific information is dated, the general ideas are still relevant and can be easily updated. As well as providing information there are also a number of activities for use in INSET...

Produced by Becta, these materials consider five major opportunities for children to use ICT in learning mathematics: learning from feedback; observing patterns and seeing connections; exploring data; teaching the computer, and developing visual imagery.
