This concept cartoon, provided by the Association for Science Education (ASE), is focusing on weather forecasting. Concept cartoons provide a new approach to teaching, learning and assessment in science, they feature cartoon-style drawings showing different characters...

Concrete Canvas is an example of a deployable structure. It is a flexible, cement-containing fabric that hardens on contact with water to form a thin, durable, waterproof and fire-resistant concrete layer. Essentially, it’s concrete on a roll. Applications include erosion control and building vent walls in mines....

Produced by Solar Spark, this activity allows students to see a condensation polymerisation reaction in action as the polyamide polymer, Nylon, is produced. This is a condensation polymer made of two parent monomers, a di-amine and a di-acid chloride.

The reaction can be used to illustrate:
*...

This downloadable video is part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). It can be used to show water condensing out of the air. A pure sample of water is normally in the liquid state at room temperature, but water particles can remain separated...

This video is the full experiment in real time to investigate the rate of conduction in various metals.

This Pedagogics resource uses the following quote from the Chinese philosopher Confucius: "Tell me...and I will forget. Show me... and I will remember. Involve me... and I will understand"

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation introduces the Conics and provides a Geogebra file for students to explore how, by changing the eccentricity of a curve, the locus of a point is altered. They are also challenged to vary the constants of an...

This article discusses how simple observations of pests on horse chestnut trees can contribute to a 'citizen science' project. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2015, Volume 25, Issue 4.

Catalyst is a science magazine for...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students will identify perpendicular gradients and lines that are perpendicular, learn to relate their learning about perpendicular lines to their previous learning about straight lines and explain the reasons why lines are parallel and perpendicular. Students should...

In this Catalyst article, David Edwards studies ways of reducing the impact of human activities in tropical regions. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 25, Issue 3.

Catalyst is a science magazine for students aged...

Produced by the LSIS, this practical activity is designed to engage learners in discussion about momentum and to help them to predict the possible effects of a collision. You may choose to perform a demonstration, using a simple runway, ball bearings and magnets, and then ask pairs or groups of students to try it...

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

• Select a particle diagram to correctly show the rearrangement of atoms during a chemical reaction.

• Interpret the quantitative meaning of a chemical equation.
