This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores how communicating rapidly over long distances has changed a great deal since beacons were lit on hilltops. It introduces the science behind sound vibrations, and presents signals,...

 These materials look at three possible projects that relate to sustainable transport:

* Communications project - students gather information and produce a balanced view on the costs and benefits of using hydrogen as fuel for vehicles.

* Practical project - students investigate the factors that affect...

These materials look at three possible projects that relate to cleaning products and tackling microbes that spread disease: * Communications project - students act as health promotion specialists trying to persuade people about the need to wash hands after using the toilet. * Practical project - students...

These materials look at three possible projects that relate to the bicycle used by an athlete in a triathlon: * Communications project - students gather information and give advice about which bike is suitable for a range of users. * Practical project - students undertake practical experiments to investigate the...

This CREST Silver level resource pack focuses on Machine Learning, with a variety of project ideas enabling students to investigate machine learning in a real-life context, exploring innovative ideas and solutions for the future, such as:

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Similarity covers: enlargement, similar shapes, linear scale factors, area scale factors, volume scale factors, maps and scale models.

The initial file forms part of the...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to a study of the properties of similar figures as a first step on the way to a study of trigonometry. Hence the workcards involve the practising of the mechanics of enlargement, becoming...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of the module is to build on the Similarity module...

This Core Maths activity introduces the concept of simple and compound interest and its effect on the amount by which an investment grows over time. To complete the activity students will use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate and compare the interest amounts accrued.

A link is included within the teacher...

This DfE Standards Unit resource enables students to develop their understanding of the laws of logarithms, practise using the laws of logarithms to simplify numerical expressions involving logarithms and apply their knowledge of the laws of logarithms to expressions involving variables. Students should have some...

The activity allows the students to explore social, ethical, economic and health issues relating to the use of Nintendo Wii compared to doing real sports and present their findings in a persuasive, coherent and focused argument. Students identify arguments for and...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to the solution of simultaneous equations and demonstrates a rather unusual way of approaching the topic. The equations are largely restricted to equations where the coefficients are +/- 1...

This resource from Inquiry Maths is designed to stimulate exploration of the nature of simultaneous equations.

Simultaneous equations...

The first sheet of this interactive excel file provides students with calculations to confirm that ^a...
