This cartoon help pupils explore issues around how recycling and reusing products can benefit the environment.

Concept Cartoons are quick, simple and effective. They are designed to intrigue, provoke discussion and stimulate thinking. Concept Cartoons make concepts problematic and provide an engaging...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these activities help students to examine the recycling of materials, concentrating on polymers and the potential for the recycling of waste plastics. In doing so, students look at polymers, the properties of plastics, purifying components of a...

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). ‘Sustainability’ is about using resources in a way that does not deplete them. An increased emphasis on renewable energy is part of the move to greater sustainability, but so is the idea...

This magic trick from the Computer Science for Fun (CS4FN) team at QMUL is based on a ‘self-working trick’. It includes a set of instructions which, so long as the commands are followed, works every time. It is, therefore, an algorithm.

The trick involves playing cards – the actual value of the cards is not...

Ideal for a Halloween-themed coding lesson! Using sparkles to imitate eyes in a portrait – but can be made harder using LDRs or making the lights fade in and out.

Students investigate why the moon turns red during a lunar eclipse by exploring refraction, dispersion and the scattering of white light through different media.

Students investigate transport in plants by seeing what happens when flowers are placed in different coloured solutions.

From Nelson Thornes, these materials are aimed at A2 level students and help them to reinforce and practise their understanding of redox titration calculations. These include redox titrations involving iron, copper, manganate, sulfate and dichromate ions.

As astronauts travel to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, the need for nutritionally balanced meals becomes even more important for space missions. The amount of fat inside food packaged for spaceflight is analysed by researchers before the food is sent into space.

In this lesson, students will discover the fat...

This activity provides the opportunity for students to appreciate how mathematics plays a part in everyday life. The town council has allocated £100,000 to spend on reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries due to road accidents. Students are expected to adopt the role of planners who work in small teams...

This resource contains an interactive spreadsheet which demonstrates and provides practice in reflection and translation at primary level.

Activities include: identifying lines of symmetry in 2D shapes, plotting...

This resources uses 5 key questions to develop a rationale for assessment within D&T. Through answering each question, the responses are intended to support, challenge or structure department discussions on your own assessment in D&T in your school.

• What does it mean to be a successful student...

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

• Recall that light can change direction (refract) when it passes across a boundary between transparent media
• Describe how the angle light passes across a boundary between two...

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. In this activity students consider in detail the working of energy-recovery regenerative braking systems used in some hybrid cars, electric cars and in electric trains. The main aim is to practice the basic understanding of the...
