A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. A text activity on world food supplies introduces a series of experiments on photosynthesis and the role of chlorophyll. Experiments on the effects of nutrient deficiency leads to consideration of the use...

In this lesson students learn about the 4 Cs of food hygiene: cleaning, cooking, chilling and cross contamination. They consider the importance of personal hygiene and the special care needed when handling and cooking meat as well as the impact of temperature on the multiplication of bacteria.  

These technical briefs look at how to store and preserve food in a number of different ways. This is a vital part of food security and enables farmers to provide nutritious food for a longer period to feed their families and to provide an income.

Technical briefs are documents produced by Practical Action...

This resource supports teachers to deliver the Food Provenance unit within the Food Preparation and Nutrition GCSE. The material is suitable for all awarding body requirements and is presented in a Power Point presentation and student activity sheet.

The resource looks at the meaning of food provenance, and...

A selection of archived film clips from Footagevault and NASA showing historic space footage. Film clips available include: 'Saturn V rocket lift-off', 'The hammer and the feather on the moon', 'Astronauts leaping on the moon' and more. Footagevault has kindly provided clips which can be used with no charge.

This activity is based around video clips of the Swanscombe Tigers youth football team training and preparing for a game.

This resource suggests a number of investigations into bee behaviour which can be used to:

• develop an understanding of the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, including food webs and insect pollinated crops
• consider the importance of insect pollination in human food security
...

From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Resultant force sets acceleration * Accumulating changes velocity and displacement * Measures of 'quantity of motion' * Force pairs replace interactions Each topic is...

Produce by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet provides a brief overview of Newton’s law of gravitation, speed, distance and time, standard form and cosmological units. A description of Newton’s law of gravitation is supported by an online video that discusses the end of the Universe. This is followed by...

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

• Describe the effect of a resultant force on objects of different mass.
• Describe the relationship between the resultant force on an object and its acceleration.
• Explain the...

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module explored forces and motion to include collisions and explosions explained in terms of momentum. In the section about space the treatment covered circular motion as well as kinetic and potential energy. Activities in the...

The Forces Sub-Collection is made up of pedagogical guidance and classroom materials for use with students. All materials were published by the Key Stage Three Strategy and the Secondary Strategy between 2002 and 2008.
