Indices and Molecules

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to index notation and standard form on the way to the determination of the size of a molecule. It builds up from simple rice-counting and paper-cutting to experiments in chemistry and...

Indices and Standard Form

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Indices and standard form covers: index notation, the laws of indices, negative indices, standard form and fractional indices.

The initial file forms part of the textbook...

This unit from the Continuing Mathematics Project has been planned to help students remember and understand what indices indicate and the rules they obey. As with all the units in this collection the text is designed to test as it teaches and is in sections.

Indices and Standard Form

This indices resource contains 21 instant maths ideas covering: basic understanding of powers, statements for which students are required to say whether the statement is sometimes, always or never true, a number of investigations including finding 'happy numbers', the number of squares on a chess board and the...

Indices and Surds

This RISP activity from can be used when either consolidating or revising ideas of curve-sketching and indices. The numbers phi, e and pi are used in this investigation where students are asked to estimate the size numbers generated when raising these numbers to different powers. It is suggested that a graphing...

Indices and surds

This resource contains ten problems which require students to think, explore and explain the mathematical topic of indices and surds. The problems require students to not only be able to manipulate expressions containing indices and surds but also be able to explain and justify how conclusions are arrived at. A...

How do you apply game theory to select who should be on your Christmas shopping list ? Can you predict Her Majesty's Christmas message? Will calculations show Santa is getting steadily...

An essential guide to introducing a person to the role of science technician and to the skills and expertise which may be required in her/his work.

Induction of the Lac Operon in E.coli

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to look at the induction of the lac operon in the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Lactose is found in milk but not in many...
