Ice Cream

In this task, students are planning to sell ice creams at their sports day. Students are told how much a tub of ice cream costs, how much a cone costs and how much they are to sell each ice cream for. Students are also given a pie chart showing the results of a survey asking pupils their favourite flavour of ice...

Ice cream: pie charts

This task assesses understanding of pie charts and working on a problem in a real life situation.

The task involves making a plan for selling ice creams at a school sports day. Information is given on:

• The cost of a tub of ice cream
• The capacity of the tub
• How many cones can be...

Ice cube melt

The video and worksheet set out a measurement challenge for students that can be carried out at home or in school. Students use ice cubes (coloured with food dye to visualise the melting process easily) to represent ice masses found in the sea, freshwater lakes or on land (glaciers.) The ice cubes (of similar...

Ice cutting experiment

This video introduces the process of regelation.  This is when ice melts as pressure is applied to it and then re-freezes when the pressure is removed. An experiment is conducted using two lengths of wire attached to two 1.5kg masses. One wire is made from copper and the other is fishing wire.  Students are asked...

From the laws of physics on a skateboard to the effects of weather on a ball, this series explores the science behind these amazin sports. Explore core science concepts in an engaging, high-interest format, with step-by-step guides to teach readers how to perform key moved in each sport; as well as providing...

Ice Melting Blocks Demonstration

In this National STEM Learning Centre and Network video, Simon Quinnell investigates the way different materials conduct heat using conductivity blocks and ice cubes. The video shows how the ice cubes melt at different rates depending on the thermal conductivity of the materials they are sitting on. Simon...

Ice Rink

This Teachers TV video is part of the series A World of Maths, which travels to different locations to pose mathematical problems.

The mathematics in building and running an ice rink is highlighted in this video which was shot during the construction of a new outdoor ice rink at the Old Naval College in...

Ice Roads - Steiner Trees

Sometimes a small, seemingly insignificant, variation in the specification of a problem makes a huge difference in how difficult it is to solve. This activity, like the The...
