Redshift
This Teaching Astronomy and Space video clip, from the Institute of Physics (IOP), Teachers TV and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), shows a simple demonstration that can be used to help students understand red shift and blue shift of waves emitted by a moving object. Using the school yard,...
Renewable Energy and Climate Change Podcasts
Produced by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), these naked Scientist podcasts look at renewable energy and climate change in an accessible and informative way.

Research at ISIS
The research section of the Living in a Materials World describes some of the projects undertaken by ISIS, an experimental facility at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Particle accelerators at the facility produce beams of neutrons which can be used to study...
Robotic Telescopes
From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this brochure describes the leading role played by UK scientists and engineers at universities, observatories and research council establishments in providing real-time astronomy for research and education. The work of the Liverpool and Faulkes telescopes...
Saturn and the Scale of the Solar System
In this Teaching Astronomy and Space video, from the Institute of Physics (IOP), Teachers TV and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), planetary scientist Sheila Kanani shows us the stunning images of Saturn and its moons taken from the Cassini...
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) was formed in April 2007 by merging the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council and the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils.The STFC aims to encourage public engagement with science and technology and the Science in Society...
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is an independent, non-departmental public body. It is a science-driven organisation, making it possible for a broad range of scientists to do the highest quality research tackling some of the most fundamental scientific questions. This collection contains...
In these resources from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), students look at the scientific and factual side of this important aspect of the curriculum. The Key Stage Three lessons look at how plants can be used to clean up contaminated land and the science of acid rain. The Key Stage Four lessons...
In this resource from STFC, students investigate the cutting edge research techniques which are being applied to food science. Powerful x-rays, produced in a particle accelerator known as a synchrotron, are being used to discover what happens at an atomic level when chocolate is made and what changes take place as...
In this section of STFC's Seeing Science, two lessons allow students to explore how scientists work to control the outbreak of a disease. Can anthrax, a deadly disease lead to a cure for cancer? Early results using powerful x-rays produced in a particle accelerator known as a synchrotron suggest that it might....
