In this concluding chapter students are encouraged to summarise their findings from the other five chapters, by writing and illustrating a newspaper article and by creating a visual dictionary of the new scientific...
Deep Space Diary Chapter Three: Designing for Discovery
‘Build a space telescope big enough to capture light from distant stars’
In this chapter, students think about the designs for a space telescope including:
- designing a suitable mirror
- devising a method of keeping the telescope cool
- designing and building a model of a telescope...

Our immune system depends upon effective proteins, such as immunoglobulins and those involved in blood clotting. But proteins can also be agents of harm to our cells, including venom and prions, or provide... |
Defence Dynamics is a collection of resources from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) which offers a range of lessons that draw on exciting and interesting examples of the MOD's work. Defence Dynamics aims to deliver an exciting resource whilst improving students’ understanding of the breadth and nature of the work of...
Defining lines by points, slopes and equations
This resource develops the concept of finding the slope and equation of a linear graph defined by pairs of coordinates. There is also work on using the slope and y-axis intercept of a straight line to derive its equation.
The initial task for students to consider is to use proportional reasoning to calculate...
