Foraging Behaviour in Bumblebees *suitable for home teaching*

This resource suggests a number of investigations into bee behaviour which can be used to:

• develop an understanding of the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, including food webs and insect pollinated crops
• consider the importance of insect pollination in human food security

Foraging Behaviour in Leaf-cutting Ants

In this activity students investigate the foraging preferences of leaf-cutting ants. This task is designed for students to collect data by observing film footage of the ants’ behaviour. Students analyse the data using the chi-square test and interpret the outcome in relation to their test statistic. This task...

Force and Motion 14-16

From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Resultant force sets acceleration * Accumulating changes velocity and displacement * Measures of 'quantity of motion' * Force pairs replace interactions Each topic is...

Force of gravity

Produce by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet provides a brief overview of Newton’s law of gravitation, speed, distance and time, standard form and cosmological units. A description of Newton’s law of gravitation is supported by an online video that discusses the end of the Universe. This is followed by...

Force of the river physics teaching pack

The Thames is a working river, providing transport, trade and of course water to London but also presenting significant engineering challenges, such as defence of the city from flooding. This unit covers the topics of pressure in liquids and gases and simple machines from the key stage 3 science curriculum and uses...

Force, mass and acceleration

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

• Describe the effect of a resultant force on objects of different mass.
• Describe the relationship between the resultant force on an object and its acceleration.
• Explain the...
