These downloadable animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to introduce density as a property to identify substances.

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe characteristics of objects or substances with high (or low) densities.
• Compare the density of objects that differ in both mass and volume.
• Explain the equation ρ=...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this resource looks at the testing of materials in the context of dentistry. Students first look at the properties of teeth and the nature of toothache before going on to test materials for a range of properties.

Brushing and flossing teeth is important, but our x-ray set goes beyond the basics. Give students...

This activity supports children to work in pairs using a dental mirror and disclosing tablets to examine each other’s teeth. They then highlight the stained areas on a simple diagram and explain to their partner which areas require more thorough brushing. This activity has been provided by The Online Dentist.

The Key Stage Three National Strategy training materials produced in 2003 by the Department for Education was written to help subject leaders focus on the processes of monitoring and departmental evaluation, increase confidence in ways to prioritise developments and...

These resources link ideas from mathematics to applications in real world engineering. The resources cover the broad topic of deployable structures which are structures that open up (deploy) into something of use. An obvious example would be an umbrella. There are also case studies of two engineers involved with...

These resources allow the learning of maths within the engineering context of deployable structures.

There are a range of KS3 maths topics covered including density, nets, transformations, scale, conversions, circles, area, compound shapes and problem solving.

The resources consist of a teacher’s...

The Nuffield Foundation provides this activity which can be used to review students' knowledge of the derivatives of quadratic and cubic functions and their graphs. The slideshow provides an introduction by considering a quadratic example and a cubic example.

This video for a-level and GCSE high ability students looks at how we derive units.  It looks at why speed can be measured in m/s and then goes onto to look at the units for force using F=ma and also why we use Joules for energy.  It also discusses the seven main base units and how all units are derived from these...
