From chirping, gurgling and snapping sounds from busy coral reefs to clicking sperm whales, scientists are finding...

These resources were created as part of the North East Collaborative Outreach Programme funded by HEFCE. The work sheets use companies based in the North East of England as a context for science questions.  Each worksheet has the same structure of ‘know, apply, extend’ to support young people to apply and develop...

A selection of teaching ideas and resources for teaching about the structure of DNA, Chargaff's ratios, transcription and translation, along with useful information on common mistakes students make in exams.

The developers of the Nuffield 11-13 course chose to place the emphasis on the processes by which scientists advance our knowledge, and the ways in which science is used by society. Their ambition was to counteract a perceived negative view of science as a ‘body of...
