Resources
Refraction and dispersion
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Use ray diagrams to show how light refracts at a boundary between transparent media.
- Describe rules for the refraction of light at a boundary between transparent media.
- ...
Refraction and lenses
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Recall that light can change direction (refract) when it passes across a boundary between transparent media
- Describe how the angle light passes across a boundary between two...
Refraction of light
A trio of videos that investigates the refraction of light through a transparent block. This first video allows students to see the experiment and the other two review the results and plot a graph to investigate the relationship between the incident and refracted angles. This is a required practical for students...
Mathcentre provide these refresher packs covering Algebra, Numeracy, Differentiation and Calculus. They were designed as activities to support students by preparing them, prior to the commencement of their university course, for the mathematical demands of their programmes. The Algebra Refresher booklet is sent out...
Refurbishing a room
This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.
This ‘Refurbishing a room’ resource is an...
Enhance your lessons about stem cells with this group of resources designed for science festivals and adapted for the classroom. The set contains three fun, interactive activities that can be adapted for different ages and abilities from 11 year olds upwards
. Use to introduce or consolidate stem cell...
Regenerative Braking
From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. In this activity students consider in detail the working of energy-recovery regenerative braking systems used in some hybrid cars, electric cars and in electric trains. The main aim is to practice the basic understanding of the...
Regreen the desert
Practical Action have supplied this teacher's pack to challenge students to use their STEM skills to come up with solutions to a problem of water shortage in Sudan. The pack includes a PowerPoint presentation and Teacher Guide so that teachers can outline the problem to their students. The PowerPoint makes...
Regression
These activities cover bivariate data which includes regression and correlation.
[b]Least squares regression[/b] spreadsheet is designed to help students get a feel for drawing a line of best fit through a set of points and to begin to understand the concept of regression. Students are given a set of six...
Regression (Linear)
This is a series of interactive excel sheets exploring linear regression.
The first sheet plots a scatter diagram and line of best fit for a small set of bivariate data. The mean and product moment correlation...
