In this resource from the European Space Agency, students learn about changes of state of matter using water on the Moon as an example. They interpret data from a pressure vs. temperature graph for water to enable a discussion about how changes of state are different on the Moon compared to what we are used to on...

Nearly two hundred years after Faraday wowed his audiences by demonstrating electromagnetic induction, this clip takes a variety of exciting and contemporary examples through which to explain the principles behind the phenomenon that has made it possible to produce and distribute electrical energy on a large scale...

This resource looks at extremes of temperature on the Earth, and inside and outside the International Space Station. Students must find data, draw bar graphs and perform conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

These resources aim to broaden students' knowledge of careers in science whilst linking the curriculum to some of the work which scientists carry out at FERA in York.   The primary resources provide a context for pollination, biodiversity and classification, and the secondary resource supports those sections of the...

The Fabric Fires activity for Key Stage Three students looks at how different fabrics catch fire and burn. Students are asked to first consider the commonest reasons for fires in the home.

These fact sheets, from the National Physical Laboratory, are ideal posters for the classroom. They include illustrations and images to accompany the text. The following curriculum areas are covered: 

• Acoustics: sound, frequency and ultrasound
• Einstein: relativity, mass energy relation and...

The mathematics involved in this puzzle is factorisation and this leads on to prime factors. Different factor trees for 40 are given and the challenge is to find the different factorisations. This is helpful for convincing students that there are several ways to find the prime factorisation. This resource is...

This activity takes the form of a series of crosses in which numbers are placed into the left and right hand cells in such a way that the top cell contains their product and the bottom cell their sum. The combination of values provided varies requiring students to perform different tasks to solve the problems....

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Factors covers: factors and prime numbers, prime factors, index notation, highest common factor, lowest common multiple, squares and square roots.

The initial file forms...

This collection contains resources from the website 1001mathproblems.com by Sian Zelbo. The topics covered include factors, multiples, primes, and common factors. Each topic is introduced in the form of a puzzle, many of which have several different...
