Exploring the use of learning objectives

Published in 2009 by LSIS, this report describes an action research project conducted by Long Road Sixth Form College. The project explored the use of learning objectives to enhance student progression, provide effective feedback, promote independent learning and improve success rates in AS level mathematics.

Exploring the World's Biodiversity *suitable for home teaching*

Produced by ARKive, this series of lessons allows students to learn about the variety of species around the world using the maps and species fact cards included in the support materials. By learning the definitions of biodiversity, species, habitat and ecosystem, students understand the importance of each concept...

Exploring transformations of graphs

This activity, from Shirley Fall, requires students to use and interpret function notation, sketch graphs using key points, explore the common transformations of translate parallel to the y axis, translate parallel to the x axis, stretch parallel to the y axis from the...

Exploring Trigonometrical Graphs A12

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students explore trigonometrical graphs by recognising translations, stretches and reflections from their equations, sketching the graphs and learning about the period and amplitude. Students should be familiar with the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x and have...

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.

This book contains interesting and varied activities for teaching weight to primary-aged pupils supported by advice on teaching and assessment. Each activity comes with ideas for extensions, to offer either reinforcement to those children who need more work at the same level, or stimulating explorations for...

Exploring Young People's Views on Science Education

Published by the Wellcome Trust in September 2011, this report aimed to find a deeper understanding of young people’s attitudes to science education, particularly regarding the value young people place on science education (for themselves as individuals and for society in general), as well as the key factors...

Explosive earth: earthquakes and volcanoes in Iceland

This Catalyst article looks at volcanic activity that generates earth tremors. It talks about seismologists that measure these tremors in an attempt to predict future eruptions.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2016, Volume 27, Issue 2.

Explosive energy

This activity is based on work being carried out at The University of Oxford. A team is using laser-light to create tabletop supernovas to understand the origins of magnetic fields in our universe.

Students will carry...
