These cross-curricular Science, Design and Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activity days from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) encourage the development of students’ problem solving, team working and communication skills. Students achieve a better understanding of what engineering...
DIY Whiteboard: Magnetism
In this Teachers TV video, science teacher Roberto Perini works with film director Steve Lowe to produce original whiteboard material for a lesson about magnetism.
Steve, who is also a designer of television commercials and music videos, uses desktop-based computer technology to create a fast and flexible...
Did you know that even though Mars is a freezing cold desert today, there was a time when we could have lived there? Or that Saturn is the only planet that would float in a bucket of water? Explore the wonders of the...

Produced by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, these resources will help students to understand the structure of DNA, where it is found in cells and the function it performs. The activities include:
* Animation which 'zooms in' on a body to ultimately reveal the structure of DNA
* Activities making...
These animations, from the Wellcome Trust, explore DNA structure, function and analysis. They explain the biological processes that transcribe and translate the genetic code to produce proteins. Animations also illustrate how the processes used to sequence DNA have developed to allow genomes to be analysed at a...
An easy-to-understand replica of the molecule of life. Students will construct their own double helix model complete with cytosine, adenine, guanine and thymine nucleic acid bases, connecting phosphate strands, and a centre rod representing hydrogen bonds. Easy-to-assemble, three-dimensional model is made of...
DNA and Genome Sequencing
Activities in this resource aim to:
- celebrate the achievement of completing the Human Genome project in 2003
- show the relevance of genome sequencing today
- explain the methods used for DNA sequencing, including the illumina method of rapid sequencing and the shotgun sequencing ...
