This practical activity, from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), investigates the process of respiration. Suggestions are given for looking at different fruits or vegetables and measuring the respiratory rate during the ripening process.

This animation allows students to view the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. In particular, it tackles the common misconception among students that respiration in plants does not take place at the same time as photosynthesis...

A Year 10 module from the Salters’ double award science course. Restless Earth was designed as a short module of four to six lessons. The module begins with stories about earthquakes. This is followed by practical work with rock puzzles to see how information is...

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

• Identify forces between interacting objects.
• Identify the free body (force) diagram representing the forces on an object.           
• Draw and interpret free body (force)...

There are a total of five turbine engines on the Gravity Jet Suit.  This resources uses the suit to look at resolving forces and free body diagrams.
