Stretches
[b]Stretch parallel to the y axis [/b] – looks at what happens to the graph of y=f(x) when it is transformed to give the graph of y=af(x). Starting with the graph of y = x[sup]2[/sup], different values of a are used to show that the graph is stretched from the x axis parallel to the y axis. The next example...
Stretchiness
This Cre8ate maths activity draws on measuring stretchiness which involves the collection of real data, calculating percentages and experimental design. This resource models one way in which engineers use their knowledge of mathematics to investigate the properties of materials. Here students investigate the...
Stretching Able Students
From Cornwall College St Austell, this LSIS report describes the partnership with a local school to enhance students' experience in GCSE and AS level chemistry.
Strings and Arithmetic Operations
This guide, for more advanced users of LINUX, shows how BASH scripts can be used for operations on strings and for arithmetical operations. The syntax for BASH is clearly explained.
Stronger structures experiment
This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science, maths and design and technology. This resource focusses on testing how well different shaped structures perform under load.

Stroop effect
This Core Maths task introduces the Stroop Effect. Students are asked to design and conduct an experiment to test the effect.
Stroop Effect: Front Sheet
This teacher guidance gives an overview of the task including prior student knowledge, suggested approaches and possible extensions....
Structural engineer
A video diary of Jonny, a structural engineer, who describes his usual working day and the project he currently works on. Jonny briefly presents the software he uses to design a building and how it helps him with the designing process. He then goes on to talk about building a high rise office tower in central...
Structural engineer-Katy
A video diary of Katy, a structural engineer. Katy describes her usual working day, shows her desk at her office and the building she currently works on.
