Exponential growth and decay

This package of Core Maths resources introduce students to exponential growth and decay by exploring exponential functions, compound interest for savings and depreciation of assets.

Exponential rates of change

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Calculus. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

This ‘exponential rates of change’ activity introduces the differentiation of exponential functions. Students find gradients by drawing tangents and by using small...

Exposing and Discussing Misconceptions: Forces

The objectives of this activity are to expose common misconceptions about the nature of forces and to introduce Newton’s Laws of Motion. Students are asked to place the headings, true, false, unsure at the top of their paper and place the accompanying cards into the appropriate column, giving reasons for placing it...

Express Delivery

This article from Catalyst investigates how cells transfer packets of control hormones from one cell to another using subcellular packages called exosomes. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 25, Issue 2.
