This resource contains two interactive excel files providing an introduction to indices, dealing with products and quotients involving indices and evaluating fractional indices (positive and negative). Each file contains the same further 16 sheets of questions which may...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to index notation and standard form on the way to the determination of the size of a molecule. It builds up from simple rice-counting and paper-cutting to experiments in chemistry and...

This indices resource contains 21 instant maths ideas covering: basic understanding of powers, statements for which students are required to say whether the statement is sometimes, always or never true, a number of investigations including finding 'happy numbers', the number of squares on a chess board and the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Indices and standard form covers: index notation, the laws of indices, negative indices, standard form and fractional indices.

The initial file forms part of the textbook...

This RISP activity from can be used when either consolidating or revising ideas of curve-sketching and indices. The numbers phi, e and pi are used in this investigation where students are asked to estimate the size numbers generated when raising these numbers to different powers. It is suggested that a graphing...

This resource contains ten problems which require students to think, explore and explain the mathematical topic of indices and surds. The problems require students to not only be able to manipulate expressions containing indices and surds but also be able to explain and justify how conclusions are arrived at. A...

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to look at the induction of the lac operon in the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Lactose is found in milk but not in many...

These activities and investigations are designed so that children can work at home with their families. The ones aimed at children aged seven and above will need some help from an adult to get started. The ones aimed at younger children will need more adult support and are designed for families to enjoy together....

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this guide aims to help schools and science-based companies make the best use of their opportunities to liaise together. It concentrates upon using link activities to enrich aspects of the school science curriculum but there are many principles in the...
