Routers pass packets from network to network. This activity explores the relationship between efficient packet transfer and topology. Although it is aimed at younger students, this practical activity can often reinforce understanding while also...

In this Bowland assessment task, students are shown a picture of one of the clock faces from the Royal Liver building that was once used as a table. Students are asked to estimate how many people could sit around this table. The diameter of the clock is given in feet so that the circumference can be calculated....

This resource from the IET supports learning about imperial and metric measurements, chemical reactions and properties of materials in the context of making Christmas butter cookies shaped like Rudolph. There is also a wordsearch that can be used to check understanding and vocabulary.

In this activity from the Nuffield Foundation, students carry out an experiment to collect data about a trolley rolling down a slope. They then use this data to simulate the motion of a train by fitting a quadratic curve to their data, using a graphic calculator or spreadsheet. The slideshow provides an...

From the British Science Association, these resources give useful guidance and tips for running a public engagement in science event. This could be as part of the Association's annual National Science & Engineering Week (NSEW). Two guides are included in these materials.

This Cre8ate maths activity gives the opportunity for accurate measurement, scale drawing and calculations involving pi. If there is access to a running track, students look at how the track is marked out and distances measured accurately for runners in each of the lanes. Alternatively, if a track is not available...

These Cre8ate maths activities draw on the mathematics of combinatorial thinking and involve a set of functional maths activities.

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context. Children consider the properties of liquids in the context of a company which produces a thick, sticky liquid that needs stirring and transporting.

The activities...

This resource is based on a Russian fable about deciding which girls from the village should be married. The aim of this resource is to allow students to meet a different type of problem involving listing of possible outcomes. Once outcomes are listed the probabilities...
