This resource consists of a ten page student workbook and some associated resources. The workbook is designed to be used with Key Stage 3 students over a number of lessons, to introduce them to the concept of algorithms, to make them used to following instructions given as an algorithm and to start producing their...

This presentation and student activity support the teaching of the properties, types and uses of papers and boards. The presentation looks at how papers and boards are made, providing a brief scientific explanation for their structure.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the differences between analogue and digital communication. An analogue signal can be rendered useless by small amounts of interference, whereas a digital signal remains...

In this activity, students use data on electricity consumption to investigate how average values are calculated. They also consider how accurate a source of published data is and whether it may contain bias.

This extension activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), follows on from the How Much Waste?...

An assessment lesson where students will put to practice the knowledge they have learnt in relation to what inclusive design is and why it is important for a designer to include for ALL, ensuring it fits all needs. Students will complete a series of activities where their abilities are impaired when completing an...

This Cape Farewell video clip shows scientists back at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, analysing the samples of phytoplankton and zooplankton taken in the Arctic, identifying species and counting their abundance.

Activity G - Plankton analysis is...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to help students to:

• Overcome common misconceptions about probability
• Count equally likely outcomes using diagrams
• Discuss relationships between theoretical probabilities, observed outcomes and sample sizes

...

This investigation covers two circles theorems through one demonstration. The theorems are:

• That the angles on the same arc forming a chord are equal

• That the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the arc when drawn from the same chord

The initial...

Produced by ARKive, in this activity students classify animals into broad groups (vertebrates and invertebrates, amphibian, bird, fish, mammal, reptile).

In the second section of the activity students are encouraged to use the ARKive website to find out how different species are adapted for the environment...

In this SATIS Revisited resource, students consider the ethical questions that arise from the conflicts between concern for animal welfare and the need to use animals in medical research.

The aim is to introduce the idea that the discussion of controversial issues relating to the conduct and application of...

This resource focusses on what is meant by carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. It involves identifying what animals eat and the sorting them into groups. In this activity learners will develop their knowledge and understanding of the different diets that animals have and how to group them into herbivores, carnivores...

This resource, produced by ARKive, is designed to teach Key Stage Two children about the strategies animals adopt to survive winter in temperate zones and about the adaptations exhibited by animals in the polar regions. Children compare these strategies and identify similarities and differences in the ways animals...

Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this resource looks at how animals have a central part to play in all sorts of research, not just in the development of drugs. 

This activity illustrates how animals have contributed to space programmes and encourages students to consider the ethical implications of...
