BRaSSS Physics - the scope of science - Years 9-11

This lesson explores the ways in which scientific methods and theories develop over time and the nature of progression in physics.

Students are encouraged to contrast the way in which physics is presented to them, as something fixed, with the actual process of doing physics through history, to gain a sense...

Bread design

Alexandra Park School met with a student baker. Their work with her was mostly a focused practical task (FPT) about the ingredients and processes used in bread making.
Students were also shown how bread is made in batches on an industrial scale. Students were involved in the STEM Ambassador’s bread making...

Break a flake

The video and worksheet set out a measurement challenge for students that can be carried out either at home or in school.  They must use a mass balance (weighing scale) to calculate the force needed to break different sized cereal flakes.  They are encouraged to take multiple readings and submit them to the NPL...
