This booklet contains all the research informed secondary science lesson plans produced as part of the Research-2-Practice project undertaken by research teams at the University of Roehampton, University of Lincoln, York St John University and KYRA research school, between 2020 and 2021, which was funded by...

This Catalyst article looks at cuttlefish which have a remarkable ability to change their appearance at high speed. But how do they do this?

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2016, Volume 26, Issue 4.

This simulation looks at resistance in a wire. Students can change the resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire as the variables are changed.

Two videos investigating the resistance of a wire. The first video allows students to carry out an experiment on the resistance of a length of wire from home and the second evaluates the results by drawing a graph. This is a required practical students to be able to understand and carry out for GCSE Combined...

Two videos for investigating resistance in series and parallel circuits. The first video demonstrates the experiment to measure voltage and current, and the second calculates the resistance values. This is a required practical for students to be able to understand and carry out for GCSE Combined Science and Physics...

This School Science Review article looks at a selection of resources currently available for use in the teaching of astronomy in UK schools. It is by no means an exhaustive list but it highlights a variety of free resources that can be used in the classroom to help engage students of all ages with astronomy and...

This triple science support publication lists a range of resources that support the teaching of triple science. For each listing there is a short description including suggestions on recommended usage.

There are sections covering: books; multimedia packs and CD-ROMs; websites; national organisations; and...

This collection of resources from the Royal Meteorological Society and Royal Geographical Society with IBG uses statements and figures from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)...

This series of resources from Defence Dynamics uses military contexts to teach aspects of science.

*Carbon and the Carbon Cycle- two activities look at the carbon cycle, its imbalances and how carbon, in the form of fuel, is obtained.

*Conservation - an activity which...

These two reports were published by SCORE (Science Community Representing Education), in response to two commissioned reports - Under the Microscope: the...

This animation allows students to view the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. In particular, it tackles the common misconception among students that respiration in plants does not take place at the same time as photosynthesis...

A Year 10 module from the Salters’ double award science course. Restless Earth was designed as a short module of four to six lessons. The module begins with stories about earthquakes. This is followed by practical work with rock puzzles to see how information is...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify forces between interacting objects.
• Identify the free body (force) diagram representing the forces on an object.           
• Draw and interpret free body (force)...

There are a total of five turbine engines on the Gravity Jet Suit.  This resources uses the suit to look at resolving forces and free body diagrams.
