These resources explore science through cross-curricular and whole-school activities.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Variation and inheritance’. This X unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course. The teachers’ guide...

Exercises and Practice contains nine resources. Each resource contains a number of activities for use in the classroom designed to provide students with practice of a variety of mathematical skills. The topics covered are arithmetic, coordinates, mensuration, rectangles and pyramids, circles, trigonometry and...

Produced by the Centre for Science Education, this Science Assessment Task for More Able Students, comprises of two investigations with a space-related theme. Students investigate what needs to be considered if humans are to colonise our solar system.

They look at:

* forces and the force of gravity...

Three videos discussing the topic of Exo-planets - 

Alien atmospheres...

This collection of resources support learning about STEM subjects using the context of exploring Mars. Using the context of the ExoMars mission, activities link to areas of the curriculum including: science, design and technology, and computing. There are...

Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than our Sun.

This collection was developed by the Institute of Physics to help bring this new and exciting area of research into the classroom. It consists of five practical activities matched to the 11-14 curriculum.

Each of the activities is standalone...

In this activity developed by the Institute of Physics, students use simple diffraction gratings to observe the spectra from different sources, and deduce how scientists can work out which chemicals are present in an exoplanet’s atmosphere. When an exoplanet passes in front of its star, some of the starlight is...

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the advantages of big telescopes and the use of telescopes to do astronomy across the whole electromagnetic spectrum. They will then explore the transit method of detecting exoplanets (either practically, or using real astronomical data) and use mathematics to...

ExperimentsAtSchool allows students to collect and analyse experimental data to draw practical conclusions in subjects including science, geography and psychology. Aimed at students aged 7 to 16, the experiments help them to develop and improve their data handling and statistical skills.

Each experiment has...

This paper from the May 2016 Using STEM Research Conference looked at two research projects  which were intended to develop beginning and experienced teachers’ explanations in secondary science classrooms.

The first study involves beginning teachers and is focused on developing their understanding of what is...
