Deep Space Diary Chapter Three: Designing for Discovery
‘Build a space telescope big enough to capture light from distant stars’
In this chapter, students think about the designs for a space telescope including:
- designing a suitable mirror
- devising a method of keeping the telescope cool
- designing and building a model of a telescope...
Deep Space Diary Chapter Two: Telescope Training
‘There’s more to light than meets the eye – find out about the light we cannot see’
In this chapter, students find out all about light including:
- designing an experiment into light rays and shadows,
- building a colour wheel,
- writing about rainbows, and
- creating an...
Defence and survival

Our immune system depends upon effective proteins, such as immunoglobulins and those involved in blood clotting. But proteins can also be agents of harm to our cells, including venom and prions, or provide... |
Defence Dynamics is a collection of resources from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) which offers a range of lessons that draw on exciting and interesting examples of the MOD's work. Defence Dynamics aims to deliver an exciting resource whilst improving students’ understanding of the breadth and nature of the work of...
Defining lines by points, slopes and equations
This resource develops the concept of finding the slope and equation of a linear graph defined by pairs of coordinates. There is also work on using the slope and y-axis intercept of a straight line to derive its equation.
The initial task for students to consider is to use proportional reasoning to calculate...

Defining primary science expertise
Learning science and closely associated subjects at primary school helps children to explore, investigate and understand the world around them. This...
Python programmers are a growing community and this will be the only up-to-date book on Plone for programmers.
Deflection tube
For this A-level investigation students use a deflection tube to measure the specific charge for the electron. This worksheet provides step-by-step guidance and the calculations that are required to make this measurement.
This resource has been provided by Keith Gibbs.
Deforestation
This resource explores the reasons for deforestation and the impacts this has in terms of loss of habitat and biodiversity and the contribution deforestation makes to soil erosion and flooding. Activities for pupils include considering examples of human impact (both positive and negative) on environments, designing...
