This simple experiment explains how to test the protective effect of fluoride on teeth. Children are shown how to treat half of an egg with a fluoridated toothpaste before comparing the effect of immersion in vinegar on both halves. This activity has been provided by The Online Dentist.

In this resource linked to COP27 in Egypt, maths students apply pythagoras’ theorem to solving Egypt’s road building conundrum. The resource explores efficient road designs and the climate impacts of car travel then uses the context of reducing travel time for the most people, reducing the length of new roads and...

This material provides construction information and guidance on the use of the ‘Eigen Square’ which is a tactile teaching resource unique to Eigen publications. It is designed to help develop children’s facility with number.

This activity from Science upd8 focuses on physicist Helen Czerski who, in order to celebrate Einstein year in 2005, worked out a new bike stunt.

It involved a BMX rider performing a full-loop against gravity using curved surfaces to go upside-down. This activity communicates the excitement of physics and...

Aimed at primary level, the twelve activities within this pack explore forces and solids, liquids and gases in the context of a birthday party for Albert Einstein. Designed to demonstrate key ideas and concepts and to spark an interest in science, they could be used in class or within a science week or club. The...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics involved in designing ejection seats. Students will explore the impact of ejecting from an aircraft on the human body and design an ejection seat for a bottle rocket.

From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to investigate forces and motion as well as making their own elastic band powered vehicle.

This activity is a variation on the 'cotton reel tank'. The elastic band roller is easy to make and...

From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows how changing the price of a product changes the demand so putting the price up can reduce income. Modelling helps decision making. The mathematical ideas covered are:
• Percentage...

Being more energy efficient helps the environment, as well as our bank balances. But this is only part of the bigger issue surrounding electricity consumption. The everyday choices we make in our homes about which electrical appliances to use and when to use them have...

From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of:

• Modelling simple electrical loops
• Adding elements to circuits
* Power and voltage

Each topic is explored from the following perspectives:...

This activity comes with a handy teacher's guide and lesson plan, a set of easy to read instructions, aimed at probing deeper thinking in your pupils, and an informative presentation to run the activity. Learn all about safe use of electricity, the importance of complete circuits, as well as learning how to draw...

Inspired by the theme of the Victorians, this activity supports the teaching of design and technology in context by looking at the key events that defined the Victorian era, and how they have influenced engineering developments and society today.

In this classroom activity learners will learn about the...

• Describe the effects of an electric shock on a person.

• Explain why there are no standard mains sockets in a bathroom....

This resource from Physicists in Primary Schools (PIPS) supports the teaching of electricity at Key Stage Two. A presentation looks at simple circuits, electrical insulators and conductors, use of materials relating to their conductivity and electrical safety. Throughout the presentation there are class experiments...

In this lesson, students look at fluctuations in electricity sources by analysing large data sets.  A student sheet is provided, containing data downloaded from MyGridGB - Charting GB Energy .  This site provides current data on sources of electrical power...
