This activity, from Genetic Disorders UK, encourages children to consider the impact assumptions, stereotypes and word choices may have on others, and to recognise and respect differences between themselves and others.

This resource was produced by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) as part of their 'At Work With Science' materials. In this interactive resource, students are introduced to the legal aspects of the Health and Safety regulations; the concept of risk assessments and how to develop them....

This activity, aimed at younger primary learners, looks at the lifecycle and habitat of a ladybird, whilst working scientifically observing, comparing and recording information on ladybirds.

Students explore the issues surrounding our common but precious resources – land, water and bees. They will start by investigating their own ecological footprint via the food they eat.

Then grow plants hydroponically and discuss the pros and cons of this method of agriculture. They will look at local and...

In this set of activities, students will plan, design, and build a landing module to secure the survival of the crew (in the form of an egg-naut) landing on the Moon. They will explore which factors should be considered when landing on the Moon, in comparison to landing on Earth. In the design of the lunar lander,...

Lasers can be used to heat things up, and also to cool them down. Using carefully tuned lasers, scientists in the UK quantum technology hubs are able to slow atoms down to just a few centimetres per...

A four by four grid is shown. The challenge is to find polygons with an area of exactly two square units. As additional challenges finding different types of triangles is posed as a problem, followed by pentagons and hexagons. The problem can be approached by counting squares, though some knowledge of how to find...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This project shows how to embellish a skirt with buttons and embroidered flowers enhanced with LEDs in the centre of each flower. It uses a metal zip as an on/off switch so that when the zip is open the LEDs are off and when it is closed they come on. Each flower is made up of a lazy daisy embroidery stitch with a...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand estimation and working with measures of capacity.

An estimate is made of how often a tap drips. The first task is to work out how many times the tap drips in one week. An estimate is given for how many drops fill a 100 millilitre bottle and the...
