QTC - Making the Most of a Novel Material
A Catalyst article about Quantum Tunnelling Composite, a material discovered in 1997 and whose resistance decreases dramatically under pressure. How does it work and what uses will it have? The material has been carefully characterised (to understand its composition and how it works), and its first applications...
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). QTC (Quantum Tunnelling Composite) looks rather ordinary, but this rubbery black material shows remarkable properties. When squeezed its electrical resistance drops, and this unique...
QTC: A Remarkable New Material to Control Electricity
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). QTC (Quantum Tunnelling Composite) looks rather ordinary, but this rubbery black material shows remarkable properties. When squeezed...
Dealing with the teaching of Mathematics, this is one of a series written for students working towards Qualified Teacher Status. Each title provides a systematic and detailed guide to the subject-knowledge requirements of the Initial Teacher Training National Curriculum (ITTNC).
Quad Tessellate
The initial challenge is to attempt to draw a quadrilateral that does not tessellate. There is a Geogebra file included with the resources that will help demonstrate the impossibility of the...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
The name is derived from the best known version of this solar clock, in which the path of the pearl in both tropics traces two lines that resemble the hood of Capuchin monks.
The quadrant goes back to the 15th century, although the date is not precise. This model is a sea-going, local-hour quadrant of a type...
Quadratic Equations
This video resource, from the Teachers TV series Hard to Teach, features staff at Henry Cort Community College, which is a specialist sports college, using a cross-curricular approach to teach quadratic functions.

Quadratic Equations
This interactive resource, produced by the University of Leicester, is designed to enable students to explore what is meant by a quadratic equation, the meaning of the coefficients of a quadratic equation and to be able to solve quadratic equations. An introduction page gives examples of where quadratic equations...
