Football in science teaching
What is the perfect curve of a ball’s trajectory, what must the ideal turf be like, and...
From the laws of physics on a skateboard to the effects of weather on a ball, this series explores the science behind these amazing sports.
Explore core science concepts in an engaging, high-interest format, with step-by-step guides to teach readers how to perform key moved in each sport; as well as...
Footprints of the Higgs Boson
This lesson focuses on scientific models and theories. It is set in the context of cutting-edge particle physics, focusing on evidence from experiments in the Large Hadron Collider. The lesson starts with an entertaining animation, set in the Large Hadron Collider, in...
Footprints on the Moon
In this lesson, students will learn a bit more about the Apollo missions and what the Astronauts did at the landing sites. They will then perform an experiment to determine which material, sand or flour, is most like the lunar soil, and observe samples of these under the USB microscopes to determine which is most...
Years ago, a little boy gazed at the moon, dizzy with the thought that he was looking at a world 200,000 miles away.
As he read atlases and library books and kept clippings on astronauts orbiting the moon, he hoped and hoped that they would find a way to land there. And one extraordinary day they did,...
For richer, for poorer
This play explores how we can both under- and over-eat and what this does for our health. Set in India it looks at two groups of people, rich and poor, and how both have poor diets for very...

Foraging Behaviour in Bumblebees *suitable for home teaching*
This resource suggests a number of investigations into bee behaviour which can be used to:
- develop an understanding of the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, including food webs and insect pollinated crops
- consider the importance of insect pollination in human food security ...
Foraging Behaviour in Leaf-cutting Ants
In this activity students investigate the foraging preferences of leaf-cutting ants. This task is designed for students to collect data by observing film footage of the ants’ behaviour. Students analyse the data using the chi-square test and interpret the outcome in relation to their test statistic. This task...
