This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the range of human hearing, to explore the pitch and frequency of sounds and to calculate the wavelength of sounds.

Students need to be aware of the trade-off when the number of bits allocated to the mantissa and exponent are increased or decreased. This worksheet allows them to answer practice questions. Answers are provided.

This activity supports pupils to be able to understand how search engines rank results. Pupils are given the opportunity away from technology, to create topic led paper-based web pages in groups before discovering how their web pages would rank when searching for key words relating to their content.

How performance is ranked in sport is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Ranking plays a vital role in many sports, providing evidence for sponsors that a particular player, or team, is worth investment. Specific examples from cricket are provided and students learn...

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized, programmable computer which has been developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

OCR have been working in collaboration with Raspberry Pi and with leading practitioners to create resources that support the use of the Raspberry Pi in the classroom.

This resource details an activity where students set up their own network of Raspberry Pis in a classroom, using another machine as their server. As with all of these sorts of activities, it is highly recommended to work through the whoole activity first, downloading the required software ahead of a lesson and...

This document introduces students to the Linux operating system by allowing them to learn and use a number of shell commands using a Raspberry Pi computer. Activities allow them to gain an understanding of how resources are managed and levels of access controlled.

High levels of ultraviolet radiation out in space drive reactions that can turn white beads into their coloured form. Students investigate how temperature affects the rate at which the beads turn back to white. At Key Stage Five, students can use the results sheet template to find the activation enthalpy. In the...
