Module 6 of the STEM Projects Toolkit gives information on the many opportunities that students can take to present their projects in STEM competitions and fairs. The resource describes the practical steps to be taken to make a project ready for a competition or fair, including describing what the judges would be...

This 'Six for Six' module from Siemens gets students thinking about efficient ways of doing things whether that be in the home or in a factory manufacturing cars.   The teacher notes below offers an overview of the resources/activities which are...

Produced by Practical Action, Moja island is a 1-2 hour activity which will reinforce students' understanding of renewable energy sources. Students consider the variety of different options available to communities living on Moja Island and select the most appropriate technology. Renewable energy fact cards, a map...

This resource shows what the lights on the front of the SAMHE monitor mean, so that students and teachers can understand what the air quality is indoors. Included is the A4 'Monitor LEDs' poster which provides an overview of what the LEDs on the front of your SAMHE monitor tell you about CO₂ levels, what...

From the National STEM Learning Centre, this short video illustrates the effect of gravity on a projectile's motion by using a classic physics demonstration called the Monkey and the Hunter. If a hunter fires horizontally at a monkey in a tree, and simultaneously the monkey releases their grip to fall off the tree...

On July 20, 1969, the astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon. From NASA, these images illustrate the story behind "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Truly a milestone moment in space exploration.

This lesson is designed to generate discussion in students regarding the common Lunar conspiracy theories. Through looking at statements, analysing the reliability of the sources, and critically analysing the comments and applying scientific principles, students will come to their own conclusions about whether the...

Tunnelworks is a series of teaching and learning resources linking mathematics and science to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, a major new sewer that will help protect the River Thames from increasing pollution. Background to the project is given in the introductory video...

• Describe the relationships between speed, frequency and wavelength for light waves.
• Describe the nature of light as a form of electromagnetic radiation....

From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Speed * Resultant force zero predicts constant speed * Resultant non-zero - changes in speed Each topic is explored from the following perspectives: • The physics...

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

• Read values of distance or time off the axes of a distance-time graph for a plotted point
• Describe the changes to an object represented by a move from one point on a distance-time...

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Electric motors are ubiquitous in modern life, from transport to production machinery to household appliances. This booklet is aimed at non-...

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources look at how surfaces are produced by the breaking up of rocks and transport by water. The influence of different rock types on the development of landscapes is also considered.
