These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to develop understanding of filtration, evaporation and distillation as methods to separate...

This progression toolkit develops understanding of the key concept of separating solutions, as part of a topic on substances and mixtures. This key concept helps to build broader understanding about substances and properties, which is one of the big ideas of science education at ages 11-14.

It includes...

By the British Science Association, the CREST awards help students to tackle science with an investigative approach. This case study describes how Year Seven students at Downlands Community College undertook a 'crime scene investigation' simulation.

The activity allowed students to gain a bronze CREST Award...

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

• Describe how the male and female reproductive structures work collectively as a system to produce and release gametes.
• Explain the importance for fertilisation of the chromosome...

This game teaches students the main principles of sexual selection and the difference between intrasexual and intersexual selection. Students discover why some animals have ornaments to attract mates (intersexual selection) while others have weapons to fight for mates (intrasexual selection).

Please note...

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

• Identify the two types of reproduction (sexual and asexual) that take place in plants.
• Describe the function of the male and female reproductive structures in a flowering plant....

In this activity from ARKive, students use a key to identify several species of shark and ray. Extension questions use video of shark movement available on the ARKive website as a context to discuss adaptation.

Shefali engages with customers, media and investors to help to grow the company.  Shefali works at Oxford Space Systems, a company developing innovative technology that is launched into space.  She often helps to act as the link between customers and the engineers working on the satellite designs. 

Through these resources, students investigate sewage tunnels that are being built under London and consider how society has changed over time, to identify the influences that have resulted in the needs for a new tunnel. Activities challenge students to use their mathematical skills to calculate critical dimensions...
