This resource provides students with debate and discussion style activities based upon genome editing. This process allows scientists to make changes to a specific “target” site in the genome. One of the techniques that has generated the most excitement, is called “CRISPR.” CRISPR stands for “clustered regularly...

Produced as part of the Citizen Science project, these materials allow students to explore issues around human genetics using familiar game contexts. Suitable for students aged 11-16, the materials utilise activites similar to Pictionary, Taboo and Consequences to introduce a variety of issues.

In this Bowland task, students are presented with a picture of a geoboard - a number of nails arranged in a square lattice on a board. On the lattice there is a sequence of squares. Students are told the length of the side of each square, the number of nails on the edge of the square and the number of nails inside...

In this podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), two researchers talk about the technological solutions some scientists say might have to be used to tackle climate change.

With average temperatures expected to rise by 2°C this century, and efforts...

A fact sheet from the Geological Society showing all the places in the UK where rocks from different geological ages can be found, from Silurian limestone at Wenlock Edge in Shropshire to Precambrian Lewisian gneiss in the Outer Hebrides.

The Geological Processes 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 in 2004.

This collection of resources from the Geological Society highlight some engaging ways to not only teach pupils about rocks, but also fossils, dinosaurs, volcanoes, earthquakes and extracting metal compounds from their ores. The primary and secondary collections are suitable for current teaching whereas the legacy...

This collection of resources from the Geological Society are historic and have not been recently updated. However, the content of them may still be relevant in some educational contexts.

A collection of resources from the Geological Society aimed at secondary-aged pupils including activities to explore energy, water and mineral resources, volcanoes and earthquakes.

This resource contains many examples of different kinds of geometric pattern. The introduction begins with border patterns; simple patterns which are easily reproduced by students.

This is followed by examples of tile patterns. Geometric patterns 3 to 6 are concerned with cyclotomy; the division of a circle...

This resource helps students to recognise geometrical shapes and their properties.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

Mathcentre provide this resource which covers the slope intercept form, an aspect of geometry that involves the gradient and vertical intercept of a graph, which can be established from the terms of a linear equation.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions are provided, together with relevant diagrams...

The geometry activities, from Skills Workshop, are designed to support teachers and students studying numeracy and functional skills.
