This task is designed to assess how well students understand calculating the volume and surface area of a cylinder.

The task involves finding the height and radius of a cylindrical can which holds 200 cm³ of liquid and uses the smallest amount of aluminium.

This task is from the Mathematics...

An investigation looking at how beta radiation is absorbed when it passes through different thicknesses of aluminum.  From this you can then calculate the absorption coefficient for aluminum.  When doing this investigation please ensure you have followed CLEAPSS guidance or the safety body for your country.  This...

The Low Attainers in Mathematics Project (LAMP) was one of three post-Cockcroft, Department of Education and Science (DES) studies related to low attainers. The Project was based at the Mathematics Centre, West Sussex Institute of Higher Education (WSIHE).

The Better Science series included 12 booklets published by Heinemann and the Association for Science Education. The purpose of the series was to explore the issues arising from the recommendations of the Review in moving towards a broad and balanced science education for all young people. The guides were written...
