In this video, produced by Teachers TV, Dr Shini Somarathne presents a run-down of the top ten experiments that go wrong for teachers, compiled by school science support service CLEAPSS. Expert chemists Dr Colin Osborne from the Royal Society of Chemistry, and Dr Kay Stephenson and Bob Worley from CLEAPSS...

In this programme, from Teachers TV, David Richardson from the Institute of Physics demonstrate his physics experiments on...

These downloadable animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to introduce density as a property to identify substances.

The Key Stage Three National Strategy training materials produced in 2003 by the Department for Education was written to help subject leaders focus on the processes of monitoring and departmental evaluation, increase confidence in ways to prioritise developments and...

These resources link ideas from mathematics to applications in real world engineering. The resources cover the broad topic of deployable structures which are structures that open up (deploy) into something of use. An obvious example would be an umbrella. There are also case studies of two engineers involved with...

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

• Describe how forces always arise in pairs

• Label force arrows to describe the action of the force

• Represent the size and direction of a force with an...

This lesson develops the concept of naming and classifying quadrilaterals according to their properties. Students identify the minimal information required to define a quadrilateral. They sketch quadrilaterals with given conditions.

During the first part of the lesson students choose from the words ‘all’, ‘...

This lesson develops the concept of constructing triangles with given conditions. In particular students will:

• Recall and apply triangle properties
• Determine whether a set of given conditions for the measures of angle and/or sides of a triangle describe a unique triangle, more than one...

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

• Identify an object that has a higher speed because it travels further in a given time
• Identify an object that has a higher speed than another when they travel different distances...
