Field-tested strategies for teaching science to students with special needs teachers are required to provide appropriate science instruction to all students, including children with special needs. However, they are often left on their own to figure out how to effectively differentiate lessons and activities.

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of differentiation which are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include, differentiation from first principles, a table of common...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of differentiation. They include an introduction to differentiation, a technique used to calculate the gradient or slope of a graph at different points, a table of common functions and their derivatives, as well as linearity rules which, when used with a table...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of differentiation, often used in the field of engineering. They include an introduction to differentiation and its uses, a table of common functions and their derivatives, as well as the rules used to enable the differentiation of a wide range of functions....

This excel file plots both quadratic and cubic functions along with the graphs of their first and second differential equations.

By specifying the values of the coefficients of either the quadratic or cubic function...

This RISP activity introduces the subject of differentiation. Rather than start from first principles or learning a rule, the activity suggests using a graphing package to generate data. Starting with a quadratic graph, students find the gradient of the curve using a straight line graph and are encouraged arrive at...

This interactive resource, produced by the University of Leicester, is designed to enable students to explore the differential function of a polynomial and conclude by forming a generalisation.

An instruction page explains to students that they should draw a polynomial. Then by sliding the slider the...

This resource contains eleven problems requiring students to explore where turning points occur, match statements about functions to statements about derivative functions and gradients of graphs at specific points on the curve, explore the tangent and normal to a curve, suggest a possible graph given information...

This title begins by defining differentiation, discussing why it matters and exploring how it can promote freedom, enthusiasm and creativity without compromising results. It includes sections on ability, potential...

This SATIS Revisited resource is a structured group discussion activity, which looks at the use and abuse of drugs to enhance sporting performance.

The unit provides a rationale for teaching about ethical issues in science for students age 14–16. The aim is to introduce the idea that the discussion of...

Practical use of diffraction gratings include emission spectra as well as explorations of the wave-particle nature of light and the interference patterns that emerge.
