Resources

Finding Food

Aimed at Key Stage Two, this resource provides investigations, practical activities, worksheets and puzzles on the topic areas of animals and habitats.

Investigations look at food preferences in birds, finding prey and finding food for offspring, and lead into many follow on investigations.

There are...

Finding g – helical spring

By using a helical spring and varying the mass on the end of it, students can time the period of oscillation to calculate the acceleration due to gravity.  This can be done by plotting the extension (e) by the time period squared (T²).  This would be good to use computer software to assist with this....

Finding g – water path in gravity

By using a constant head apparatus or similar you will investigate the shape of a water path projected through the gravitational field of the Earth to find the acceleration due to gravity. This would benefit from using slo-mo filming or photography, or even to introduce students to a travelling microscope.

Finding g-linear air track

This investigation uses a linear air track that is tilted to a slope to calculate the acceleration of an object due to gravity.  SUVAT can be used to calculate this value, and datalogging, especially using light gates can be used. Students can also use a protractor to measure angles which can be varied.

The author explores the concept of symmetry in mathematics.

This book investigates questions such as how is breathing controlled? How do the lungs work? Why do some people suffer from hay fever or asthma? Why do athletes train at high altitudes? Classroom activities, problems and project topics help students explore a seemingly simple function that can be taken for granted...

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 covers conservation, development and the efficient use of the earth's resources, at a time when the environment is at the forefront of science, politics and education. This book explores nuclear energy, afforestation, waste disposal, modern farming methods, coal mining and tourism.

A lively introduction for 11-14 year olds with plenty of simple experiments, practical activities, and ideas for investigative homework.There is a wide range of recipes, most of which can be prepared and cooked...

This book answers questions like why do we need to drink?, how much should we drink? and what should we drink? Topics covered include diffusion, body temperature regulation and the function of the kidneys. The book also looks at the constituents of tea, fruit juice and milk.
