Derivative Matching
The Nuffield Foundation provides this activity which can be used to review students' knowledge of the derivatives of quadratic and cubic functions and their graphs. The slideshow provides an introduction by considering a quadratic example and a cubic example.
...Derived Units
This video for a-level and GCSE high ability students looks at how we derive units. It looks at why speed can be measured in m/s and then goes onto to look at the units for force using F=ma and also why we use Joules for energy. It also discusses the seven main base units and how all units are derived from these...
