ESERO-UK (the European Space Education Resource Office for the UK) is an education project from the European Space Agency (ESA).

ESERO-UK has been established at the National STEM Learning Centre through funding from ESA and the Department for Education. ESERO-UK promotes space in the UK and the use of space...

EURING promotes international collaboration on all aspects of scientific bird ringing, particularly in Europe and along the Eurasian African flyway. These sharable data sets can be used across the curriculum to develop data science skills.

This sample of a teacher guide introduces basic robotics using Lego EV3 hardware and software – the activities are based upon a single robot model which can be constructed from the education core set.

Students learn about basic movement of the robot rover in the context of space exploration.This context...

This paper, from the Department of Education, presents statistical information on the difference in final grades between those students who are entered early for GCSE examinations and those who are not. The potential impacts associated with early entry are highlighted for consideration, by those responsible for the...

Earth Day is an annual event where people can participate in numerous events to show their support for environmental protection.

The theme for Earth Day 2025 is ‘our power, our planet’ and is focussed on highlighting the the worldwide need for renewable energy sources and production.  

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at the Earth and its atmosphere. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic...

The films in this collection look at how scientists study volcanos. The films contain footage of volcanoes erupting and cover areas such as the formation of islands, types of eruption, the structure of volcanos and whether we can predict eruptions.

The Earth Science Teachers' Association have produced a wide range of resources for use by primary, secondary and post-16 teachers and students. Consisting of a range of printed materials, they include teacher guidance as well as classroom resources. Resources cover general aspects of earth science as well as...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Keys and detection’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included two worksheets to supplement the...

In this resource students learn that the Earth’s surface is split into tectonic plates and that earthquakes usually happen at plate boundaries. They will explore how when an earthquake happens it releases vibrations, called seismic waves, and there are different types of...

The application of logarithms is the focus of this resource from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. The magnitude of an earthquake and its measurement on the Richter Scale is used to develop an understanding of logarithms. Students investigate details of events and learn that an earthquake of 4.7 is...

Easter is traditionally the time when the Easter bunny arrives with chocolate eggs and treats. This collection of resources highlight activities around the themes of...
