Demonstrations for the Christmas Dinner Table

In this National STEM Learning Centre and Network video, Simon Quinnell demonstrates four experiments, with the theme of Christmas, that teachers can do in the school laboratory.

These are:* Tea bag convection - see...

Every child needs a special space of their own where they can let their imagination run wild. When children become a den builder, the most ordinary of spaces can become a magical, secret...

Den Day

Create a den at school using this STEM challenge, which links to geography and D & T. Children learn about natural disasters and how they affect people in many ways, then are challenged to plan and construct a sturdy...

Dengue Virus Replication and Transmission

Produced by the Wellcome Trust, these animations take a detailed look at the molecular mechanisms that allow the dengue virus to subvert the cells of its mammalian host, allowing it to replicate and spread. Dengue is an example of an RNA virus.

Density

These downloadable animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to introduce density as a property to identify substances.

Density

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

• Describe characteristics of objects or substances with high (or low) densities.
• Compare the density of objects that differ in both mass and volume.
• Explain the equation ρ=...

Density

A pair of videos that investigates the density of different materials.  The first allows students to see an experiment on the density of regular and irregular objects from home. The second part outlines the calculations used to work out the densities of cylinders of different materials. This is a required practical...

Dental Dilemmas

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this resource looks at the testing of materials in the context of dentistry. Students first look at the properties of teeth and the nature of toothache before going on to test materials for a range of properties.
