In this STEM club activity, students design and build an earthquake-resistant two-storey structure, considering principles of earthquake engineering and design such as the importance of a solid foundation, wide base, symmetrical design and trusses.

In this resource students learn that the Earth’s surface is split into tectonic plates and that earthquakes usually happen at plate boundaries. They will explore how when an earthquake happens it releases vibrations, called seismic waves, and there are different types of...

The application of logarithms is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. The magnitude of an earthquake and its measurement on the Richter Scale is used to develop an understanding of logarithms. Students investigate details of events and learn that an earthquake of 4.7 is...

In this resource pupils learn that the Earth’s surface is split into tectonic plates and that earthquakes usually happen at plate boundaries. They will explore how when an earthquake happens it releases vibrations, called seismic waves, which can be measured using seismographs and that earthquakes can cause...

Eggcite your pupils with some Easter related activities. These age appropriate collections include resources linked to eggs, chocolate, rabbits and how to determine the date for Easter Sunday.

Easter is traditionally the time when the Easter bunny arrives with chocolate eggs and treats. This collection of resources highlight activities around the themes of eggs, chocolate and rabbits.

It includes:

• investigations involving chocolate and egg shells
• some mathematical activities...

Easter Day varies from year to year and in this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, students encounter the algorithm used to establish when it will occur. A series of tasks, designed to prompt class discussion and mathematical thinking, lead students to predict when Easter Day will...

This activity is based on determining the date of Easter Sunday using an algorithm known as "Ten Divisions to Easter". The activity can be extended by asking questions about the long-term trends in the data. 

Teachers' notes give a suggested approach to the...

This booklet presents the key points of the Equality Bill 2009 in an easy-to-read format. It will be useful to teachers and could also be used within citizenship classes.
