Produced by the former Department for Children, Schools and Families, this guide supports the delivery of Diplomas. It explores ways to encourage both male and female learners to consider qualifications and careers that are not typical to their gender. It suggests activities that consortia can carry out to engage...

This London Engineering Project paper, from the Royal Academy of Engineering, describes the processes and practices for developing gender neutral and culturally appropriate engineering activities in schools.

The...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

In this Genetic Futures workshop from the Centre for Science Education and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), students were asked to project themselves 50 years into the future to discover the breakthroughs that advances in DNA...

This Genetic Futures workshop, from the Centre for Science Education and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), provided an opportunity for students to think and talk about the potential benefits and problems of an advance in DNA technology...

This collection aims to support teachers in the delivery of career-focussed lessons and events. Combining material for students with comprehensive teacher guidance, these resources can help teachers to confidently explain the opportunities available to their students. Highlights include:

• Top Ten...

This collection holds a variety of reports about education issues in general, rather than about specific subjects. They include reports which discuss the development and importance of vocational courses, progression from Key Stage Four to A Level and continuing professional development for teachers and technicians...

This series from the 1960s provided a complete course in general science for 11 to 15 year olds.

This resource requires problem solving skills to identify linear and quadratic relationships in a realistic context.

Students investigate covering square table tops with three types of tile; square tiles, half tiles, and quarter tiles. They create examples and then identify the resulting sequences.  

...

This resource requires problem solving using skills in forming and factorising expressions.

Students begin by working out numerical examples where a number can be written as the difference of two square numbers. They need to choose systematic ways to collect and organise data, and examine it for patterns....

This report contains examples of fifteen mathematical inquiries carried out by a class of eleven year old students and is designed to demonstrate that it is possible to teach in a way which encourages students to begin to ask their own questions, to control the direction of their investigations, to make conjectures...

This collection of resources from the Association for Science Education (ASE) and produced by teachers using standard ICT packages, illustrate some of the ways that ICT can be used to enrich existing schemes of work.

This resources investigates how electrical energy is generated from renewable and non-renewable sources.

Suggested learning outcomes include:

• To know the difference between a renewable and a non-renewable source of energy.
• To understand how electrical energy is generated from at least...

This resource develops the concept of manipulation and calculation with polynomials. Particular attention is paid to switching between algebraic and visual representations of polynomial expressions.  

Students focus on sequences generated from shading in parts of ‘dot’ diagrams. As an example, (n^2...

Generation Logistics is an initiative from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation to demonstrate to students and teachers the relevance of the logistics industry to their lives and the wide variety of career opportunities available.

The resources contained within this collection apply real-...
