Demonstrating Biology: It Takes Guts

Produced by Teachers TV, this video illustrates how looking at a pig's entrails can be used to investigate the digestive system.

Nigel, biology teacher at King Charles I school, explains that once he receives the entrails from the abattoir, hygienic handling and storage is of paramount importance. Before...

Demonstrating Chemistry: Exciting Elements

This video, from Teachers TV, takes a look at some extreme chemical reactions and explores a number of exciting demonstrations that can be performed in the classroom.

Dr Kay Stephenson from the Royal Society of Chemistry focuses on the trends in reactivity of elements from group one of the periodic table...

Demonstrating Chemistry: Fireworks in the Classroom

This video, from Teachers TV, gives ideas on how to bring fireworks demonstrations into the science lab in a safe and fascinating way. It illustrates experiments relating to the secondary school science curriculum. These include:

• combustion basics, oxidation and oxidising agents • creating a flash •...

Demonstrating Chemistry: The Science of Fireworks *suitable for home teaching*

From Teachers TV, this video helps to bring the complex science of fireworks into the classroom. Matthew Tosh shows a series of firework demonstrations which cannot easily be performed in the classroom laboratory, either because they need specialist facilities or on health and safety grounds. The demonstrations...

Demonstrating Chemistry: Top of the Flops

In this video, produced by Teachers TV, Dr Shini Somarathne presents a run-down of the top ten experiments that go wrong for teachers, compiled by school science support service CLEAPSS. Expert chemists Dr Colin Osborne from the Royal Society of Chemistry, and Dr Kay Stephenson and Bob Worley from CLEAPSS...

Demonstrating Dynamic Geometry

This video resource from Teachers TV features Carol Knights, Departmental Mathematics Specialist at Bay House School in Gosport, as she demonstrates how dynamic geometry software can transform the teaching of many mathematical concepts, engaging students through interactive demonstrations, constructions and...

Demonstrating Physics: Electrostatics

In this programme, from Teachers TV, David Richardson from the Institute of Physics continues with more physics experiments for the staff at St. James Catholic High School in London.

Head of biology Wendy Butler has always been afraid of using the Van de Graaff Generator. David shows her how to use it...

Demonstrating Physics: Forces

In this programme, from Teachers TV, David Richardson from the Institute of Physics demonstrate his physics experiments on...

Demonstrating Physics: Radioactivity

Produced by Teachers TV, this video illustrates demonstrations of radioactivity suitable for Key Stages Three and Key Stage Four students. The techniques shown could be adapted by teachers working with post-16 students.

David Richardson from the Institute of Physics shows three teachers from different...
