Strengthening Teaching and Learning of Particle Theory, Secondary National Strategy

This study guide, from the Department for Education, is part of a suite designed to support the development of aspects of subject knowledge. It has been designed to link with the Progression Maps, the Revised Framework for teaching Secondary Science and Assessing Pupils...

This CPD unit offers background information and practical suggestions to support classroom practice when teaching about particles. It considers the importance of models and modelling and how these should be refined as different concepts are addressed. The unit considers progression issues with earlier sessions...

Strengthening Teaching and Learning of Particles, Key Stage Three National Strategy - Training Materials

This is one of a suite of continuing professional development (CPD) units from the Department for Education covering the five ‘key ideas’ at Key Stage Three (cells, interdependence, particles, forces and energy). It links with the...

Strenthening Teaching and Learning of Energy in Key Stage Three National Strategy

This is one of a suite of continuing professional development (CPD) units from the Department for Education covering the five ‘key ideas’ at Key Stage Three (cells, interdependence, particles, forces and energy). It links with the 2002 Framework for Teaching Science:...

Stress investigation: polarised light

This investigation looks at seeing the stress concentrations in a variety of objects using polarised light.  It would work well when looking at material properties and uses basic equipment.

Stress, strain and Young's Modulus

This worksheet explores stress, strain and Young’s Modulus, providing explanations of equations and worked examples. The resource also includes, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a science activity sheet.

Stress: good or bad?

This Catalyst article looks at how stress can have an impact on people's well-being but at the same time, humans need a degree of stress in their lives.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2017, Volume 27, Issue 3.

Stresses

Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents and presentations, or for use with an interactive whiteboard. Mainly simple line drawings, they can be cut and pasted into documents and image processing applications. The images in this resource are related to...

Stresses and Strains in Plants

From Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these practical activities allow students to investigate how woody and herbaceous plants support their shoots, branches, flowers and fruits and shed them at the appropriate time.

A number of investigations are suggested that can be adapted for students over a...
